Today is Sant Jordi (St George's Day) the Patron Saint of Catalunya. You buy roses for women and books for men (or just any of the two for either). Streets are flooded with roses and book stands; the publishers launch most books today, authors sign them in special stalls...

I almost always have to be in the UK for Sant Jordi. it's such a pity! But I celebrate it from here, wishing you all

Bon Sant Jordi!

Here, have a rose and a book . Happy Saint Jordi especially to MB and her brain full of articles waiting in Sevilla to be called on stage, and to my two Catalan watchers (who're prob not subscribed to the journal), and .

Incidentally, Saint George also seems to be the Patron Saint of the UK? Shows how generous we are, letting our Saint do multitasking.
