As an addendum to my last post (that's not a pun), today was officially Octidi, Vingt-neuf Brumaire in the French revolutionary calendar, and my morning tea was held at 4.38. That might seem an odd time in the morning to hold an event, but I'm operating on the revolutionary time system where there were 10 hours in a day and 100minutes in an hour!
By the way, I banned cake from my event because Marie Antoinette is supposed to have said about the starving French peasants: "let them eat cake". I didn't want to bring bad luck on the participants because Marie lost her head shortly afterwards in year 2.
