I love good food, the creativity of the human imagination, and pretty things.

Swear Score: 9/10
Isn’t this just a delightful scene! I just love those buildings in the neighbourhood (brick and stonework is highly underrated, if you ask me).

Study of parrots from Louis XIV's zoo, by Pieter Boel in 1670. What an eye this man had! Even his nature study is totally elegant.

Saturday. Very chilly and frosty start to the day. A cup of hot coffee in the hands - as well as a good book - is the only proper response.

This beautiful amethyst-tinted serving bottle is made from a type of glass developed during the 1670s that contained a high percentage of lead.
This so-called ‘lead-glass’ or ‘crystal’ was much heavier, less fragile and more brilliant than that produced previously in either England or Europe.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Officially back after the Christmas break/vacation and...ugh. Two days and it's like I've never been away. At least it's the weekend and the sun is going to be sticking around for it.

And speaking of great trailers, I almost passed this one up but it had me laughing out loud in several spots, so I'm looking forward to checking it out.
Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee is back with How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, a new, eight-part comedy thriller series premiering on Netflix on 12 February.
