Thanks, DerdriuMarriner, for congrats. I have a long list of project with always changing priorities, so I can't promise any time schedule.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

The first paragraph to the first subheading, The situation, advises us that "I am continuing to garden in the local park, where I do Wednesday mornings."

Elsewhere you considered your wife gardening the back yard.

Do you garden inside through houseplants? If so, which houseplants do you favor?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Online sources correlate French fancies with desserts configured by the Mr. Kipling corporation from 1967 onward.

Might the Kipling corporation by monikered as such as founded or staffed by descendants or relatives of Rudyard Kipling?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

The Scandinavian influence in Orkney and Shetland causes me to consider spoken and written languages there.

Might Orkney and Shetland have their own Norse-descended languages?

Thank you for your comment below on Jan. 18, 2019, in answer to my previous observations and question.

Your bringing up pineapple pits causes me to consider the painting Charles II presented with a pineapple, ca. 1675-1680. That painting either features the first pineapple grown in England or an early import.

The aforementioned theme inspired several interpretations. One version invokes a somewhat baffled, somewhat intrigued, somewhat thoughtful king looking quizzically at this edible non-English plant.

Might you have seen any version of this painting?

Your comment below on Dec. 3, 2018, in answer to Veronica's previous, same-day observations and questions interests me.

Your comment invokes the British Isles with "The tale of Tristan and Isolde [Yseult] in the Matter of Britain recounts a clash between the Cornish and Irish slave raiders. The climax was the clash between Tristan, champion of Cornwall, and the Morholt, the giant champion of Ireland. Tristan won and the Irish [probably Leinstermen] were driven off. Britain in the immediate post-Roman age was a very violent place beset by Pictish, Irish and Saxon raiders."

Is it that only Cornish and Irish slave-traded or might English, Scots and Welsh ancestors have been involved too?

The blood drives and the fish fries always do well.

It impresses their mixed-religion communities that the Church is first-rate, top-quality in such services, what with clean environments and comfortable seats and what with delicious drinks and eats for the drive and the fries.

The introductory paragraph advises us that "Membership is open to all on payment of an annual fee, and I am a member."

Does membership inspire member discounts on annual meetings and product lines or involve regional-chapter affiliation or continuing-education certification?

The Emmaus (from Hebrew חמת, "hot spring") road meeting intrigues me.

Was Jesus Christ coming from Emmaus and His witnesses going to or vice versa?

Some online sources interpret Jesus Christ's words feeling forsaken on the Cross as going into the Crucifixion intending to survive with God's intervention.

What is the Christian tradition about expressing forsakenness and expiring after submitting His spirit to God?

The comment below on July 18, 2019, intrigues me.

Might those who have no Parkinson symptoms apart Parkinson-like gait have something ameliorable, curable or incurable?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

The first paragraph in the first subheading, The beginning, advises us that "Most others who have tried the walk, which was first done in 1879."

Do we know who did that first walk?

Yes, I did recognize in your Genius loci the very same temptations of Jesus Christ.

This compelling short story interests and intrigues me with its effectivest characterizations, context, language, length and plot. (It invokes the regret that there is no Pontius Pilate novel ;-{!)

That it involves a Brother Antony invites the question: why Antony?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

That the Roman Empire collapsing imperiled documentary survival intriques me.

English Wikipedia invoked the daughter-library Serapeum for the Library of Alexandria, both with lost holdings even before the Roman imperial collapse.

Might the Roman Empire not have had back-up -- ;-D -- places for their documents?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

It interests me that western and Indian Christians respectively make Our Lady Mary blue- and dark-eyed.

There might be a reconciliation so that both depictions operate as true.

Would it be possible for Our Lady Mary as hazel-eyed and therefore blue-, dark-, green-eyed in different biogeographies?
