William A note from the Kumamoto International Bummer Desk (whose content is usually left to our interns): The Lake Ezu Fireworks Festival, which was to have been held in August 7th, has been cancelled by the coronaphobic executive committee of the Ezu Lake Fireworks Festival, to whom vehement letters of protest should be addressed. The only good to have come from this is my chance to have used the past perfect passive infinitive. As is said in past perfect stative, it was to have been a wonderful time. https://kumanichi.com/articles/682921
