i’m obsessed with this picture of my friend’s cat, panko. it’s like 2 months old but i look at it every day

Not all day, mercifully. Just some outdoor morning ‘concerts’. Though they will likely get more frequent now that the weather has improved. 😬

Bagpipe report. Neighbour is out with his bagpipes again, having returned to performing in his back garden rather than the front. This is a mercy, as it is (a little) more subdued. 😁

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

Seriously, there's a Best Butter Tart Festival in Ontario? Definitely on my travel bucket list now!

Oops! Thanks for the correction.

Sitting down and just doing some writing *creates* ideas. Your imagination is just waiting for a chance to let the words flow.

Gospel Book of Otto III c. 1000 Manuscript (Clm. 4453), 334 x 242 mm Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich This is another miniature from the Gospels of Otto III (folio 139r). It shows St Luke with a piles of manuscripts in his lap (their bindings studded with jewels) exalting all the Old Testament prophets who foretold the coming of Christ.

I love this photo of Saint Luke with piles of manuscripts in his lap from the Gospel Book of Otto III (c. 1000 CE)
(Manuscript (Clm. 4453), Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich). Probably projection, but he looks traumatized by all the reading he still needs to do before the end of the semester.
