Translate Beowulf intentionally wrong:

What? We Gardeners in the Yeardays have frowned on the thrum of the Theedkings! How the athelings framed Ellen! Oft Shield Shaving from scathing threats, from many megas, tee’d off the mead-settles and made the Earlies go EY! Ever since he was early found a fastshaft, he for that bade fruffers and waxed under the Welkin, thawed worthminds out until eewelch of the umbsitters over the ronroad should hear and yield him great gombs. That was good cunning.

With the a.gup.pe groups, when you reply, you want to remove the group address and just reply to the original post. Your comment is visible to anyone who reads that original post, but it stays w/ that thread, rather than getting boosted as a free-floating, out-of-context comment. This is for everyone but esp. the @fiberarts group, because that’s where I’m seeing folks getting grumpy w/ this the most. Ya’ll got needles. Folks are starting to get stabby. :D

Our local beekeeping association (bka) very kindly arranged with the Woodland Trust to give us a load of free bee-friendly tree saplings, so went down to pick up 15 new trees today - wild cherry, hazel, silver birch. The 2 latter provide essential early Spring forage for bees, so should be beneficial early next year. Apparently the next load of free trees will include Sweet Chestnut and Lime, both of which are fab sources of Summer main runny honey harvest! #bees #woodlandTrust #beekeeping

Have even more Shakespeare in Early Modern pronunciation.

Here's my reading of Hamlet's famous soliloquy in a reconstruction of (one possible form of) early 17th (or late 16th) century pronunciation.
