As we head for Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday here in the UK, the world is in carnival! You have lovely bland pancakes with lots of white sugar and lemon squirted from a plastic fruit so that they have at least a little taste of something. The rest of the world has a taste for a different flavour. Live stream on now - Rio Carnival 2025 for a brilliant bit of samba. You have never seen floats like these. Including a table football float with humans on the bars all spinning over at the same time. Of course as a firm feminist ally, the only thing I don't like is how extremely scantily clad some of the sisters are. https://www.youtube.com/live/z4K0h2OCfks?si=oZOQsAqvfGF3KMUJ Barranquilla Colombia Guacherna night parade desfile 2025. This one hurts because I should have been there but unfortunately my capital has been severely reduced. Next year I will be there.
With Orthodox Easter aligning with the heretical Easter this year, we have already celebrated Smoke Thursday. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiknopempti Clean Monday tomorrow. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Monday
