i am am studying in school something about Lucius Caecilius.
has anyone read the books of Caecilius?
(Only did a year of Latin many many years ago and have not tried any translation engines for this so would be happy with some worry’s other than Lucius Caecilius being at least arguably correct.)

Your Latin to English translation is magnificent. Your year spent learning Latin was a triumph.
I learnt latin for a year at Erith school - got 99% in the end of year exam, which is coincidental as I've lost around 99% of my Latin since then. But yes, I remember learning about some guy called Caecilius and his monotonous life. People called Romanes, they go the house, was the highlight of latin for me. i was literally explaining it to my daughter on the way home from school (they're doing a school play abour Romans) and she didn't understand it at all.
I wish this hadn't crept onto Charlton Life, too. My brother happens to be a Classics postdoc and I get texts from him reading something like "Your choice as to where we lunch - I was thinking Nando's vel sim."
I have to look up what he means half the time. It's all too Rees-Moggian for my liking.

I usually get a 'Fancy a maccies ya fat c**t' off my brother.
I remember the Cambridge Latin Course. Caecilius, his wife Metella and their dog, Cerberus, lived in Pompeii. Caecilius was sometimes in the garden. Top man.
Last Sunday, the first day of British Summer Time, I went to Petts Wood to see the William Willett Memorial - a sundial. Willett, a resident of Chislehurst, was the inventor of 'Daylight Saving'. It is common for sundials to bear the words Horas non numero nisi serenas (I count only the sunny hours). The Willett sundial records British Summer Time and bears the words Horas non numero nisi æstivas (I count only the summer hours).

Unfortunately Latin wasn't taught when I was at school.

A few issues with the English bits though.

Are you saying that it was he, who bid £30 million?
"I remember in school, I, Lucius Caecilius Iucundus, learnt.
Surely Caecilius to read books about?"
I'll give him a generous B
canis est in via
Threadius sinkibus.
Switched to Spanish at the first opportunity.
