Get Your Tartan to the Library!

National Tartan Day, April 6, is a celebration of Scottish heritage and the cultural contributions of Scottish and Scottish-diaspora figures of history.

The name refers to tartan, a patterned woollen cloth associated with Scotland.

The event originated in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1987.

In addition, April 6 starts National Library Week!

EDIT:

Nope, I had this info all wrong, my bad!

National Library Week USUALLY starts on the 2nd full week in April, but in 2026, which I just discovered, is April 19-25!

Henry Update:

He eating, just somewhat less than he normally consumes.

His right eye is still a bit closed; another three full days of drops every eight hours.

I lay on the bed with him as often as I can, and he's begun to climb on me!

Hopeful

For Sunday Selfies,  it's Henry again!

He was much too excited, and put his snoot right up in the lens, but darn, he's cute!

I artified it and made a jigsaw puzzle; click on the image above.

Don't Stray

April 4 is a day dedicated to increasing awareness of stray animals (pets who have been abandoned or lost, as opposed to domestic species born in the wild who are referred to as “feral” or "community" animals), and their neglect, abuse, malnourishment and suffering.

Get your pawed family member microchipped, and keep the online information up to date.

For Caturday, I artified Henry with Prisma, filter Surf.

Henry Update:

He's eating, both canned cat food and churus.

We've successfully pilled (appetite enhancer), squirted (Gabapentin, to mellow him), and eye dropped (conjunctivitis eradicator).

The cone is removed, yet 'My Little Antenna Dish' will remain as a nickname.

Henry looks like he's hungover after a night on the town.

He eating, and he allows handling too.

❤️ Henry! ❤️
