Fallaces sunt rerum species
Nemo hic adest illius nominis
Inhumanitas omni aetate molesta est
In dubio pro reo?
SED QUIS CUSTODIAT IPSOS CUSTODES?
Dictum sapienti sat est.
vale te
Artificer
insanabile cacoethus scribendi

Deceitful those that look at this (don't know 'rerum' ?)
Nobody here is near to that name (can't get this bit at all !)
The churlishness by all at this age is annoying
It is doubtful anybody here is guilty of this
But who watches the watchman ?
The saying of the wise man is enough
Farewell to you
Not being a latin scholar this is simply taking from the dictionary and trying to parse them into something grammatically hopeful - anybody out there care to correct me - please !
I've a horrible feeling though that Arti isn't back after all if I'm anywhere close to this !
Carpathian
Hi again Carpy!
See I couldn't keep away entirely! Just a less frequent visitor now.
My garden needs far more attention at this time of year.
Since being here less, I have managed to get all my hanging baskets (18 of them), window boxes (16), tubs (8) and troughs (7) planted and flourishing.
The flower beds now need attention before I can get the bedding plants in.
Then there are the fruit trees to attend to............
So working outside in the fresh air - I will be with our dear Arti in spirit!
Love to you and MissC!
and big hugs, Alex x x x
It's Latin? Oops, I spent half the afternoon trying to put it through Google's Spanish->English translator!
Arti,
It was great to see your post even if I had to delve into the old trunk at the back of the attic for the Latin dictionary! Then spend half an hour or so making sure I understood what you meant. I think I got it but having "done" Latin to O level then not used it for 30 or so years it's a bit rusty.
As Will said, Carpathian is very close... and it is better taken up in a PM.
