Here's a pic I took the day before yesterday. She stood still for a long time. Maybe wondering if any treats were going to go along with my phone. She watched it carefully. I love seeing those beautiful breast feathers!

I'd never heard of the Midrash. I had to look it up. Thank you for the lesson Ribh!

You're welcome. A literature degree takes you down some very strange paths. My modern Literature course looked @ American Jewish authors.

I had the misfortune of being sent to a convent school when I was young. I got expelled from the primary school I was at and the convent was the only local school that would take me. There were 500ish girls there and when I was there, nine boys.
What was the problem with that one might think.
The problem was, once the boys reached 11 years old they could no longer go there.

That's very young to get expelled. Out here, rightly or wrongly, they try everything to prevent a child from getting expelled. Most of the worst boys landed in my remedial classes but we got along like a house on fire ~ which is rather worrying, or says something about my head space that is more than a little concerning.

@HappyClucker7 Every time I see the quote in your signature
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes” — Sherlock Holmes

I think of this quote

"The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper" - Bertrand Russell

It is one of my favourites.

I wonder what Russell would say if he could see his words on byc

 

[MaryJanet]

I like this one.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell

That's my favourite too.

MJ's explanation wasn't @ all horrible, Bob.

No, it was merely hilarious and foolish

 

[MaryJanet]

I was afraid of what it might be. This is very sensible.

You are polite Bob. Veeeery polite!

 

[MaryJanet]

MJ is a very sensible lady.

I'm not sure how I managed to fool you and Bob yesterday, but I'm glad I did!

 

[Ribh]

No, it was merely hilarious and foolish

And I called you sensible...
