The plague of Bath Corgis.

I just found a useful public information booklet. Presumably made by the government in the 10 year olds room.

I've painted some Valentine's Day cards. Watercolour and biro originals, not prints, blank inside. £25 each if you want one. Purple one already claimed. Choice of envelope colour!

My mother-in-law's 70th birthday in a summer house in Langeland. Everyone is singing.
There's a tradition of rewriting the lyrics of old songs so they about the life and times of the birthday girl.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.

He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.

(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)
