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!
❤️
Let's Hop!
Haha! Tartan day...that began after I left Nova Scotia!...and in the year we got married.LOL!
ReplyDeleteI bet you love the Library day!!
Good doing, Henry, keep up the good healing. Here is some more POTP!
Hope Henry is soon better. It is nice that he climbs on you.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, I don't have any Scotch heritage, mostly Irish and Dutch.
I guess in a very weird way Henry waited for you to retire before he got so very sick. This way you can be at home to give the medication on time and make sure he's comfortable.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that Henry is completeley back to normal soonest!
