Aloft, into the Roman sky did the sun battle with the clouds for dominance. It was 05:58.
The battle, warmly waged was by the sun achieved until the airy field was surrendered at 2017.
The Ave Maria Bell… still in the 20:30 cycle.
It is the feast St. Flavia Domitila.

I received a note from the makers of the Six Hour Clock app, who have added features. He is now including certain aspects of the calculations of the Moon.
THAT drove me with terror renewed to review the calculations of ecclesiastical lunar things, involving epachts, golden numbers, special letters… the Church maintains these archaic and arcane “computus” even in the modern, post-Conciliar liturgical books though I doubt that 1 in 1 million pay attention to them. I did some scary reading to review. OOOmmmphff. Maybe I will write something about them.
Today I went to get more alstroemeria today from Pippo, but he decided that what he had wasn’t good enough so he wouldn’t sell it. But he was involved with making new floral arrangements for the Marian altar at The Parish™.
This guy is amazing. Note the use the quercia. I didn’t expect roses.
I made a hamburger tonight. Wow, right?
I’m listening to the last audible book of the series about Quintus Sertorius by Vincent B. Davis.
I did my Hungarian lesson and reviewed exercises in the Queen’s Gambit Accepted – an unusual e5 line. Alas, I didn’t get any work done on the novel, but I am determined to kill a Franciscan in the Via dei Pettinari (but I haven’t figured that out yet).
I renewed my apartment contract. Sure, you can send donations!
May I please wrap this up?
My guy Wesley is .5 out of first in Warsaw. Magnus won in Malmo.
Black mates in 4.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
Help monks.
Wow – Hungarian lessons! (I missed that fact before, if this is an update.) What a challenging delight! Have you run into Tolkien’s Hungarian interests? There’s a character in the unfinished Notion Club Papers who was born and spent his first years in Hungary, and seems to have visited a planet with (somehow) Magyar-like names. And the tantalizing little “Mágol” article at the Tolkien Gateway leads to details of as-yet unpublished manuscripts concerned with this invented language “of Hungarian style”. And then there’s his son, Father John Tolkien’s tale (as related in the published diary entry of Warren Lewis for 18 November 1947) of one of his instructors, “a Hungarian Jesuit”, who ended up being Gavrilo Princip’s confessor.
I wonder what the Hungarian is for “My hovercraft is full of eels.”

Tele van angolnákkal a légpárnás hajóm.
I am surprised that “hovercraft” has its own word in Hungarian!
I hear the murderer left behind
“a single, enigmatic, carrot…”
WVC: “I am surprised that “hovercraft” has its own word in Hungarian!”
Maybe they could have used them on Lake Balaton – largest freshwater lake in Europe?
Given it’s an inland lake it might not have even been very “bouncy-bouncy”?
You saw what I did there …
