Wonderful Monday morning rather ornate tiny dragon (this is a Zodiac symbol from the Sherborne Missal).

@PosyHill1 @Horatioforever @cwtch_up He charms as he shimmers! 🐉

I told a joke about blinding a cyclops, nobody liked it

The legendary hero Guy of Warwick performed many feats throughout his career, not the least of which included killing the Wild Dun Cow.

This was an 18ft long fairy cow, which once gave unlimited milk, but became carnivorous after a witch milked it dry.

Nice budget.

A friend's 10 yr old's artwork - done whilst in bed ill! - on "my view of lockdown". The school was expecting the view from her window, so the feedback wasn't great. Can we celebrate her creative spirit?! Any artistic types out there who might give a more encouraging review?

In 1543, Henry VIII sent £10,000 to Ferdinand, king of the Romans and of Hungary, to finance his crusade against the Turks, from whom he was trying to re-capture the part of Hungary lost in 1526 at the disastrous Battle of Mohács.

Business school: wow, good for you! We just got a small donation from Kellogg for $3.5 million for new swivel chairs

Humanities: SUP MOFOS! GUESS WHO JUST WON $500 FOR BOOKS!

His body was like a temple.

Old and crumbling.

And he had to move slowly within it. Gingerly.

Lest he trigger one of its terrible traps.

And finally, yet another outing for the adorable little Wyvern and his pet snail, Hereford Cathedral.

@ColorsAndStones @Horatioforever The dragon certainly is awesome, but so is the Belfort in #Ghent.
Lookout 👀 for the replica dragon on the spire. Also, there is the amazing drum mechanism for the carillon bells.

If you need to remember something, tie a knot in your wyvern's tail. Misericord at Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire. #FantasticalBeasts #Animalsinchurches #Animalsinchurcheshour

me, editing the sentence: "The boy looked around the room."

me, reading the whole paragraph: "The boy looked around the room...while wearing a look that looked as if he hadn't just had a little looksie in the lookety-look look."
