The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

On a tan fabric the phrase “If you look the right way you can see the whole world is a garden” is backstitched. A green and blue door is stitched above it. Two tone salmon red flowers arch over the door. Trees with green flowers and brown birds flock either side of the door. A two tone yellow border goes above and around it all. Sprigs of red roses decorate the corners. Below the verse are a snail, bunny and squirrel and more flowers in shades of red and blue.

Morning report! Woke up with heartburn and an ocular migraine. Quite a combo.

Never had a migraine start before I even got out of bed. Yaaay.

Let's hope the day improves.

Here’s a poem called ‘From The Encyclopedia of Alternative Facts’.
From The Encyclopedia of Alternative Facts Frankenstein was the monster’s name.   There’s no such thing as climate change.   A solero is a type of hat.   The planet is not round but flat.      Six is the legal drinking age.   Women get paid an equal wage.   Elvis once sang in Take That.   The planet is not round but flat.      Achilles had a dodgy knee.   Terror comes from refugees.   Insomnia affects most cats.   The planet is not round but flat.      The president’s above the law. Russia did not start the war. It’s impossible to change a fact.   The planet is not round but flat.   Brian Bilston

A snowy garden in B73. The footprints are as I had to let the chickens out and thaw their water.

Hepatitis A and Typhoid jabs today! Followed by a seasonal shop at Hobbycraft. One was more enjoyable than the other.
