In this rather fallow liturgical period between Lammas and Samhain, I've been asked to clarify the official naming conventions to give the impression there's something going on. I realise that in mainstream denominations it's 94th after Trinity or 4th Leap-week before Michaelmas or something, but with our more ancient tradition there's a lot more making it up as we go along.
This Saturday and Sunday are of course Wet Weekend, and I expect Beaker People to have the appropriate faces. Then will follow Manic Monday and Ruby Tuesday. Then Wednesday Darling when we remember the life and work of J.M. Barrie. On Thirsty Thursday the Beaker Folk give up ale and cider for one day, and then we have Frantic Friday.
Next weekend we will have Super Sunday and this will be followed by Blue Monday - so called because the children face their retun to school after the holidays, while the rest of us consider there's no more Bank Holidays till Christmas, and we pretended to have Swine Flu last year so can't get away with that again.
