Hump Day Happenings
Jun. 2nd, 2021 07:10 am1. When I was admiring ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
goss's Vampire Gardener, I said that I would buy a thousand postcards with this image on them. Imagine my delight and surprise when I received in the mail from minoanmiss a stack of gorgeous, glossy postcards of goss's drawing with this note: "I couldn't send 1000 but here are 50!" What an excellent gift. *loves*
2. Lately I've been reading mnmlscholar, the stationery blog of what I think is a high school teacher. I can't tell where he's located, but I really enjoy reading about his fountain pen use and even more his teaching. He's got to be at a private school because I can't imagine his focus on LGBTQ issues flying in, say, a public high school in the deep South. It makes me happy to know that some kids somewhere are getting the education I wish Emma had gotten; it would have made such a difference for her to have any one teacher say something positive/accepting about being gay. Anyway, check him out.
3. Nature observed: young deer wandering through yard; another indigo bunting (we now have two males and two females living in the yard); downy woodpeckers; some tiny bird I couldn't identify screeching its head off until a male cardinal basically landed on top of it (that is enough of that, young sir! this is my yard! LOL).
4. We watched the final episode of Escape to the Chateau. Filming was stopped because of the pandemic. I hope it won't be too long before they are able to release new episodes. In this last episode, Dick was using a fountain pen with a hooded nib, but I couldn't tell what brand it was. :)
