— L'HISTOIRE DES DEUX TISSERANDES —

Rebecca et Myriam étaient depuis toujours liées par un solide fil de laine qui traversait les mers et l’océan. C'était un lien précieux qui les reliait à la fois physiquement et mentalement.

Mais aujourd'hui — catastrophe ! Le fil s’est rompu, effaçant au passage une partie de leur mémoire et elles se sont perdues. Tout ce dont elles se souviennent, c’est que l’une vie en Écosse et l’autre en Loire-Atlantique. Elles ont désespérément besoin d’aide et se tournent vers les élèves de leur région...

— THE STORY OF THE TWO WEAVERS —

Rebecca and Myriam had always been connected by a strong thread of wool stretching across seas and oceans. It was a precious bond that tied them together, both in body and in spirit.

But today — disaster! The thread has broken, and with it, part of their memory has vanished. Now, they are lost. All they remember is that one lives in Scotland, and the other in France, close to the Loire river and the Atlantic Ocean. In desperate need of help, they turn to the students of their regions...

Not a good day for me (and I can blame myself for that 🙄), but we had a fun time canoeing instead of gym.

Skelton – Eye See 👀
#skelton #fail #comics #webcomic #comicstrip #skeleton #optometrist #ophthalmologist #eye #eyedoctor #eyes #dilate #pupils #glasses #see #eyedoctor

Skelton goes to the eye doctor only to be insulted by the eye-chart, have his pupils dilated, and fit for glasses that he has to tape to his head because he doesn’t have any ears.

Small pupils when the sun was shining...
Large pupils when the clouds rolled in...

The #story of the Night-Cat goes like this:

You are in the woods under a full moon. You hear leaves rustling & twigs snapping, & you see two gold lamps side by side--as if a child is walking with a lamp in each hand. These are the Night-Cat's eyes. So long as you see them, you're safe. Beware, though, when the cat's #pupils fill its eyes & darken the lamps--it's sighted prey. In seconds it closes the #meters between it & you. It pounces, & you don't feel the blow.

A schoolroom in Tunisia (1883)

The boys are learning to read Arabic and to recite the Koran in this 1883 engraving from a drawing by Edmund Berninger (1843 - 1910).

Scanned from El Mundo Ilustrado - https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ElMundoIlustrado-1897/ that i bought when i had an unexpected night in Lisbon on W3C business in 2017, after helping a blind passenger had resulted in me missing my flight.

A bearded old man with Middle-Eastern head-dress sits holding a long rod or hookah, with a jug before him on an octagonal table. Across the floor from him are maybe 18 children cross-legged reading from books in their laps or on stands, and one standing person. It's a dark stone-walled chamber and a small high window has bars over it.

'Curbs use #pupils as ‘political football’, #school leaders say

Pepe Di’Iasio, the general secretary of the #AssociationOfSchoolAndCollegeLeaders, told the BBC’s Today programme: “Pupils are being placed in the middle of a highly sensitive subject and being used as a political football for the sake of headlines when we should be focusing on their #wellbeing.”'

#Dangerous #guidance says parents should be told if #pupils say they want to #transition but stops short of a blanket approach. Blatantly ignoring the risk to the child from non-supportive parents at home.
