Adso

1 June is World Outlander Day

Am a huge fan of the books, and am enamored of the TV series because I can nab the DVD's from my library.

Adso is a recurring character in the story, as the cat who has likes and dislikes of certain visitors, which make for some funny plot twists. 

Here is a video of when central characters Jamie and Claire Fraser adopt the fluff nugget Adzo into their household.

Enjoy an Adso jigsaw puzzle!

Wee Cheetie

Diana Gabaldon's book "Outlander" was first published on 1 June, 1991.

A world-wide phenomenon since then, the Outlander book series, TV series, and the resulting sales of t-shirts, tartans, fan tours of Scotland and North Carolina, are a big deal.

1 June is World Outlander Day.

For some of us, it's all about the wee cheetie, Adso.

Adso with his mom, Claire Fraser, played by Caitriona Balfe.

Adso with his dad, Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan.

Okay, okay...so, there are handsome lads in uniforms, tricorns, and kilts too!

😹😹😹

Adso is found alone in the North Carolina woods by Jamie, who gifts the kitten to his wife, in Book 5 of the series, "The Fiery Cross".

Adso appears in every book after that, and he's quite the character, as befitting any feline with time-traveling humans as companions.

Am thankful to my bff JB, who introduce this author and series to me; let's blame it all on her, shall we?

Tartan Day

 Tartan Day is a North American celebration of Scottish heritage on 6 April, the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.

Tartan Day originated in Canada in the mid-1980s. It spread to other communities of the Scottish diaspora in the 1990s.

💔Puppy in a kilt!💖

Today, I am BEYOND grateful to my bestest friend JB, who years ago suggested that I might like to read a newly published book: "Outlander".

Believe it or not, I ignored her advice, until thirty years later, in Autumn, 2021, I happened across the audiobook on my library phone app, and decided to give it a try.

I am now an official Outlander fangirl, having read the entire book series twice, AND watched the TV show on DVD from...wait for it...the library.

Therefore, one more tartan photo:

Actor Sam Heughan, portraying the hero of the Outlander stories, Jamie Fraser.
The tartan worn here was created by historians and costumers, using 1700's technology and dyes, for the most accurate re-creation of clothing at that time.
The actor makes it all look SMASHING!😽

Adso

June 1 is World Outlander Day.

As I've posted about this book series before, I am beyond thankful that my bff recommended it to me.

How could I not like a series that has this adorable kitty?

His name is Adso, and was discovered as a kitten alone in the woods, by the character Jamie Fraser.

He gifts the wee grey potato to his wife, Claire.

Claire and Adso.

Jamie and Adso.

Lord John Grey and Adso...as a inside joke to some of us who are a bit too involved in the stories!

These images from the TV show were collected from Facebook.

However, while the show is great, the books are the only way to go!
