Dear Andrew;

Happy February!!

February fun facts

1. February was named after the ancient Roman purification ritual ‘Februa’.

2. Until 713BC, the Romans had no names for January and February, on the grounds that the winter months did not deserve them.

3. Until Julius Caesar’s changes in 45BC, February was the only month with an even number of days.

4. In Old English, February was called ‘Solmonath’ (mud month) or ‘Kalemonath’ (cabbage month).

5. ‘February’ is an anagram of ‘bare fury’ (if you are feeling angry) or ‘bury fear’ (if you are brave).

6. February is the only month that can pass without a full moon. This last happened in 1999 and will next happen in 2018.

7. Much Ado About Nothing is Shakespeare’s only play naming February: “You have such a February face, So full of frost, of storm and cloudiness.”

8. Because of calendar change, Sweden and Finland had 30 days in February in 1712.

9. In the French Republican calendar introduced in 1793, the month from about January 21 to February 19 was called ‘Pluviose’ meaning ‘rainy’.

10. The US White Pages phone directory lists 57 people with the surname February. Of all months, only September (also 57) has so few.

Love,
mum

- Le corbeau et le renard -
Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,
Tenait en son bec un fromage.
Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché,

Maître Crow, on a tree perched, Was holding in his beak a cheese. Maitre fox, by the smell tempt, Said to him in much this language: “He! Good morning, Maitre Crow. How nice you are! How beautiful you seem to me! Without Lying, if your song, Is like your feather, You are the phoenix of the guests of this wood” With these words the Crow does not fell more joy, And to show his nice voice, He opens a large beak, give up his prey. The fox take it and said “My dear sir, Learn that all sycophantic Live off one who listen him: This lesson cost a cheese, probably” The Crow, ashamed and embarrassed, Swore, a little late, that he won’t be taken anymore.

Lui tint à peu près ce langage :
"Hé ! Bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli ! Que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois."
A ces mots le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie ;
Et pour montrer sa belle voix,
Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie.
Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit : "Mon bon Monsieur,
Apprenez que tout flatteur
Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute :
Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute."
Le Corbeau, honteux et confus,
Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus.
