Sleeping too much

Sunday services are predominantly in Greek ....

Saturday is "Savvato" ... the Sabbath .... Sunday is " Kyriaki" .... literal translation is "the Day of the Lord" - the day of the Resurrection ....

Early Christians began to mark the Resurrection day for church services, distinguishing them from the Jews who still considered them as enemies initially .... changed the Jewish fasting days of the week too, I believe ... but kept the reverence and "rest day" nature if the Sabbath Saturday ....

Thus the weekend has two "holy days" .... both were kept sacred for their special reasons, set in firmly in Christian societies ....

There y'go .... history lesson for the day .... lol .... 😊

I love Paddy's disastrous day @Former-Member - that sounds pure Irish and how I love the Irish - I was always told to be proud of being Irish - but I have yet to have such an adventure

Maybe because I am half-Irish

@Former-Member - hey

I had a rotten week - but yesterday I had a delivered meal - steamed cod and a variety of vegetables - ah - mashed potato - I dunno why - but it seems as if that might have been the cook's way of pounding a day of frustrations out of her system - but the rest of the vegetables are great. I am a great believer in vegetables and I have a big collection of salad vegies to wash and put away in containters

Late yesterday I saw my Doctor and told him about the thing with the car and the woman yelling at me and shaking her fist and the powerful last word - even though he acknowledged it was dangerous to reverse out - he didn't say much - but he was very kind - I think this guy remembers everything but sometimes doesn't say much and on Friday after a busy week - it's good that he was kind about it

So I feel okay today - I am glad of that - everyone has been so thoughtful through the past week - I so appreciate that -

Hi @Former-Member

It was pouring heavy rain the other night so I didn't get around to looking for the lemon tree in the dark - I could do that today - I'm adding it to the list

It's a communal lemon tree - and I have to walk up toward the rear units - we have nine here and 8 of the are in pairs but dotted around in a sort of small park - very private - and pretty - the gardener comes in here every couple of weeks to do the garden and the tree surgeons deal with the bushes - it's really a nice place to live

But we did have 2 lemon trees at my old house and they had spikes - I don't remember the kids having a problem - but one of my cats did

We had some of those birds that swoop and make loud noises at the cats - wattle birds or honey birds I think - and one family nested in one of the spikey lemon trees and thought it was safe

But they would swoop at my cats - and one of them had enough and climbed up the tree with all the spikes - took its time and sat on the nest and relieved itself right into it - ah - I didn't care - I still think 'That's funny - that's revenge - clever cat"

I forget which cat it was now - I had boy cats and girl cats -

My father lost his sight - it look a long time and he had vision on the outside edges - he could find his way around his own house okay - but we had a family funeral interstate and that was hard for him. Cats manage well with disabilities and keep it to themselves - as predators will - my cat had a sudden limp and I took her to uncle vet who told me she had wasted muscles in her shoulder - maybe a bite from another cat had got infected - antibiotics and anti-inflamatories helped and I still massage her shoulders watching now for any wastage - I just didn't notice until the limp got bad

I am sure your kitty with be fine @Former-Member - cats are very clever - but I am sorry she is losing her sight. She knows to stay close to the house though -
