Interestingly, May is the only month in which an American president has not died. I'm writing this on the 26th. I shall leave you alone with your thoughts for a moment.
In other languages May variously translates as "the month of sowing", "the month of high grass", "the month of blooms" and less usefully "month number five".
But on to the calender, a work in progress so be gentle with me!
