Saturday, April 1

Τσαχπινικός Απρίλης


This post was originally going to be titled Χαρούμενος Απρίλης, meaning “Cheerful April,” but then I took a closer look at Tsarouchis’ Απρίλης, and I think that what it conveys more than anything else is coyness. He’s flirting with us. So I changed the title to Τσαχπινικός Απρίλης, which means “Flirtatious April.”

We in New England know what a tease April can be. He runs hot and cold. Kind to us one day, cruel the next. All the while, flirting with us, holding out the promise of pleasures yet to come.

It was 70◦ Fahrenheit and sunny in Boston today. If it had been a Saturday, we’d have been at Gay Head in a heartbeat. Tomorrow and Sunday it’s supposed to be colder and rainy, and on Monday, we’re back down into the 50’s.

That’s April. Always flirting.

Dean I'm happy with 50, no complaints here. We went a little warmer out west here in Springfield yesterday, almost 75!

Have a great weekend! :)

The last 2 days here in my little town in West Virginia have been in the mid 70's but I'd be happy with 50's.

Aah, I wish I could directly convert fahrenheit into celsius. Not to worry. Although the joys of fahrenheit may require some translation, the flirtations of April do not. Happy April from across the Pacific!

A seductive angel--well, I've been lucky enough to know a couple of those in my time--without wings, of course. :-)

Another Gay Head fan--one of the great places in the summer!

Thanks for that! Strangely enough, though it's a different season, it's roughly the same temperature here. Flirtatious April indeed!
