Continuing my multilingual fairytale collection. I spotted this book online (used), and couldn’t resist. It is a fabulous collection of Siberian folk tales, catalogued by ethnic minority group, with parallel text on each page. It was published in 1992.

Pretty dope-looking lecture on #medieval women and movement which you can attend online or in person.

View of the entrance archway (19thc) with turrets etc. The sunlit main building can be glimpsed through the arch.
Detail cropped from the previous photo, showing a stone carving of putti welding a hammer over an anvil. Below are two winged cherubs, monogram and decorative stonework
So many, many times I have passed the gates of George Heriot's School without stopping to look at it (as opposed to the amazing main building and views of Edinburgh Castle). I only saw today the #puttiofindustry there (variant on #puttiofscience)

Accidentally put her treat in the same bowl as her food. Who knew that was against the rules?
