The Last Day Of The Tiger

My Year of the Tiger* card will come down tomorrow and it will be sad but the Year of the Rabbit Card should at arrive tomorrow at Amber Cottage for Paul, Gary and the bunnies. That will be nice and hopefully unexpected for them all - although the snow may be more of a surprise in the morning. It is now lying here after rain all day.

During my last post, I updated Gwenhwyfar's name spelling to this which has been used in the book. Perhaps it is a new found empathy or sympathy but I would not go as far as to say admiration. She is now with child by Arthur but regrets not taking Lancelot as lover and worries he will never want her again, as she grows 'fat and ugly with child'. Yes, I forget that looks are the norm, whereas I rely on my 'cheery disposition' to get by. I may look upon this as taking the higher moral ground but, when it comes down to it, it is still being manipulative after all. Women!

All after me - 1,2,3, bright, shiny, happy!!!

Theme for the weekend is 'Forty' (thanks but not me) in Forfar and now Edinburgh so hopefully the weather does not disrupt the plans, whatever they actually may be.
