Positive things for Wednesday

[tamaranth]

1. Lovely green-and-pink winter dawn (made me think of the finale of Dogsbody, by Diana Wynne Jones)

2. Did not fall asleep in training course

3. The Joy of Emblems.
- "A beaver bites off its own testicles when pursued by dogs and a lion"
- "A weasel with a branch of rue in its mouth"
- "A weasel is giving birth to its young through her mouth, after having conceived through her ear"

EDIT: am amused to note there are 666 entries for non-Christian religions ...
