Alas @Fantasio, no concerts at all planned after the end of May. May 29,30,31 in Tucson AZ. My last gig in Europe was 2019 in Gdansk for the 30th anniversary of the new Polish constitution.

Ooh, that’s made me wince a little, considering the government in power at the time…

Coast - Pacific Explorer

I would say we have quite a broad range with distinctive seasons, extremes going from -30C to +30C. Summers normally around 15 to 25 and winters -10 to 0.

Living on coast moderates a bit, as sea has some temperature buffer effect. I like it though, not much hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or drought. We’re boring in that way.

Still going with two user names?

Stays pretty chilly at Latitude 60 North, I gather?

We’ve had snow in mid-May here in Buffalo

Why did I not know you live in Buffalo? I grew up in Rochester, so, um, yeah...snow. I shoveled the driveway before more than one trick-or-treating (which, for the non-Americans, is when kids dress up in costumes to go door-to-door begging for candy and adults dress up as a slutty-something [pirate, doctor, nurse, airline pilot, veterernarian, trash collector] to get sloshed), which is on October 31, and Easter (which is when we worship an imaginary bunny who brings us candy).

Do they not do Halloween in Europe? At least in the UK? I would have thought we inherited these traditions from the Brits.

It was always here but never celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in the US. It's becoming huge in Italy, though.

well we once celebrated Samhain (dark half ) one of four Gaelic festival (Samhain,( Sauin or Oíche Shamhna,) Beltane, Imbolg, and Lughnasadh.
they believed on 1st of November It was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward of sprits.

but it a mix of traditions really as In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor saints. Soon after, All Saints Day came to incorporate some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before all saints day was known as all hallows eve and later as ,Halloween.
