(no subject)

Last night I got in late, completely knackered,* so much so that I didn't bother fixing supper but went straight to bed. So I didn't notice until this morning that livredor had cleaned the stovetop before leaving. Possibly the best hostess gift EVER. Wow. Three cheers for livredor!

* Work, therapy, shopping, looking for a bloody ATM because the supermarket didn't effing give cashback, mikveh, looong subway ride home with shopping - cook supper after that? yeah...

cuteness in Torahs

Lately in Da Studio I've been working on a most tiny ickle Torah. The column height is six inches - that's seven lines per inch, and when we're talking handwritten with a quill, that's pretty darned amazing. It's a similar size to the text you get in many mezuzot, but very much more beautiful - most mezuzot that size are a scrawl; this is exquisite. I cut a quill to size and tried to imitate the script, and I just couldn't - it needed more skill than I've got. It honestly looks like one of those toy paper Torahs you get for kids, except it's real. I'm smitten - I want one!
