I’ve been reading Stars and Stripes since I got the novel and I’ve done nothing but giggle at the banter that goes down between Aiden and Jordi thank you tumblr for making me aware of this novel’s existence
I also doodled this one scene because I giggled at it and if I giggled at it I feel prompted to show it do you
The ‘scene’ in question:
‘When the waitress came back with fluffy pancakes stacked three deep, each as big as his plate, Aiden’s stomach growled.
Aiden stared at them with abiding love before pouring maple syrup all over until they turned from a light brown to a dark sodden colour.
“You are disgusting,” said Jordi who’d watched him drown in his breakfast with a horrified expression.

Anyone up for a parade? The Schembartlauf (“the running of the masked men”) was a traditional element of Carnival in Nuremberg in Franconia. Celebrated on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, it consisted of a parade of men in masks and ornate costumes who came down from the castle into the city, culminating in a dramatic destruction of their parade float in the town square. The Schembartlauf is first documented in 1449 and came to a disastrous end in 1539. Read more about this tradition in Masks, Hells, and Books: The Nuremberg Schembartlauf (1449-1539).

‘The Greaze is an annual custom unique to Westminster School, held each Shrove Tuesday since at least the mid 1700s but in a tradition likely to be medieval. A school cook tosses a pancake over an iron bar and pupils scramble to retrieve what they can of the pancake. The pupil with the largest piece wins a guinea from the Dean of Westminster, who also grants the whole school an extra day’s holiday — the ‘Dean’s play’.
The Greaze is the most anticipated event in the School diary and is a popular spectator event, notably in 1919 when it was attended by King George V and Queen Mary, alongside their sons, the future Edward VIII and George VI.’

Pancake Tuesday | Shrove Tuesday
Before the start of the Lenten fast, commonly known as ‘Pancake Tuesday’, (Shrove Tuesday) is a time when many still engage in the practice of making, tossing and eating mountains of pancakes. Over-indulgence is expected, if not demanded, and children will come into school on Ash Wednesday boasting of their pancake-eating feats. Generally, large, very thin pancakes are simply sprinkled with lemon…

I have my criticisms of Valentine's Day, but one that I'm starting to change my mind about is 'Why do you need a specific day to show someone you love them? You can do that whenever'. Because yeah, that's true. But it's also true of Mother's Day and Father's Day, of birthdays, of almost any holiday. No, you shouldn't need a specific day to treat your partner (or friend or anyone else you love), but there's no harm in having an extra excuse to celebrate. And if your partner only makes an effort on Valentine's Day... That's not the day's fault.

Folk? Folk!
"The Road to Lisdoonvarna" is a dear old favourite of mine, because one of my best friends used to play it on her hammered dulcimer when we were in college. It feels right to send it to you right now! I went looking around to find a good version, and this lovely trio is the best one I found.
Honestly, dulcimers and bodhrans are a match made in heaven.
