Hawaiian Christmas Shirts

Jamie Fraser is Real! Outlander Mini-Series Being Filmed
Hasn't the director's wife come out as a Jamie and Claire fan? Hopefully it won't be too bad, even if odd things are changed for the show.

Why Did The British Celebrate Thatcher's Death?
Great article explaining how Margaret Thatcher managed to be so unpopular. I have memories of hating her as Education Secretary while a student in Scotland. I was living in the US by the time she became Prime Minister so didn't experience her ...

The Mythical Firebird
Thanks for your comment. Yes, many cultures have similar mythologies - fascinating! I have seen Vasnetzov's picture of Baba Yaga, a bit scary but beautiful too.
