Blimey, it’s November already, this year has just flown by; Christmas beckons. As has become a tradition of sorts, a moustache is forming in recognition that November is also Movember. For another month of another year, I am about to look a bit stupid (well more so anyway).
Whilst the month has been so effectively renamed in the cause of testicular cancer care; I can’t help thinking that November would be much better referred to as “Remember”.
As I sit at my desk contemplating – it’s lunchtime so cut me some slack; the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh year draws ever closer. I am wearing my Poppy Appeal cufflinks and have a Poppy lapel pin attached to my suit jacket. Remembering the sacrifice made by so many across the world wars is surely important enough to consider renaming a month.
“Ember” is a constant element of “No”, “Mo” and “Re” and in that fiery reference was the spark of this idea. The ember would even work for bonfire night (tomorrow) although I admit that the old rhyme “remember, remember the fifth of Remember” would need a bit of reworking.
