smiles and groans

Big smiles for:

my student JS being on the front page of the local paper, fixing a Torah :D

thunderstorms :D

still happy writing on lovely lovely klaf :D

appreciating small luxuries like being able to buy hobby supplies when one feels like it :D

springy smells in the air :D

bad soferet punsBig groans for:

dreadful puns caused by thinking too much whilst writing (I'm not much of a one for freehand drawing)...the top one is for ויפתח הגמלים, sort of Trojan camels, and the bottom one is for ועמד על הגמלים. I recall once asking a rabbi if God had a sense of humour, and receiving the answer that camels were inherently amusing...evidently they cause bad punnage, anyway. This is why I play music whilst writing - it keeps my active brain busy and stops this sort of thing happening too much.

ETA: Quote reference Genesis 24, Abraham's servant meeting Rivkah.
