Lady of Salem

So, the story goes that the lady in the picture went to chapel every Sunday. One day, she was given a new shawl and wore it to chapel the following Sunday. Legend is that she was so proud of her new appearance, going against all chapel teachings that the devil appeared in her shawl and, if you look carefully, you can see it.

Apocryphal I know but thought I would share it anyway and also, it shows the Welsh costume that is traditional wear on St David's day but which I haven't worn since the age of about 9. I do remember that it itched like hell!

St David's Day and Mothering Sunday being combined over the weekend, I was able to give my mum a bunch of daffs from the garden, which were duly appreciated, as she has no garden of her own. We had a nice meal together and it was, all in all a pleasant if not packed day.

I returned home to mundania and a pile of ironing. In fairness, it had been so long since I had last ironed I had to be re-introduced to the gadget and that oblong thingy, looks like a surfboard. Set me to thinking about all these wonderful time saving gadgets that I possess and ultimately what I'm doing with all the time I'm saving? Wonder if it could be quantified? No, please don't reply to that, it would make my head hurt.

Ah, I know, I shall go and watch University Challenge instead - much more relaxing!!! Although must admit to getting 13 questions right the other day - must have been on something, or something!! On the whole, though, I have to admit that 98% of the time, I don't even understand the questions never mind being able to figure out the answer. Watching them makes me wonder if my Honours Degree was a mistake! Stephen Fry has that effect on me as well. Well, I for one will not make a fuss about it just in case my Degree is an administrative error :))

Ho hum :wave:
