Welcome to Friday, the most sought-after day of the week!
Today in 1911 the beautiful Machu Picchu was discovered by American archaeologist Hiram Bingham. I feel the need to channel Terry Pratchett here and point out that before that it had been ‘discovered’ on a daily basis by locals in the area.
In 1969 Apollo 11 returned safely to earth.
Over in Dobrzyń, Hili is faced with an existentialist dilemma.
Hili: I have a feeling that I would like to climb higher.
A: What’s stopping you?
Hili: Lack of incentives.
In Polish:
Hili: Mam wrażenie, że chciałabym się wdrapać wyżej.
Ja: I co cię powstrzymuje?
Hili: Brak bodźców.
Nooooo no no no – Monday is the best! The whole week seems to lie before one –
like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star’d at the Pacific — and all his men
Look’d at each other with a wild surmise —
Silent, upon a peak in Darien
😉
“Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.”
“If they heart fails thee, climb not at all.”
oooh – I have come over all poetic this morning!
It is pretty far fetched to call it the most sought-after day, I’ll give you that. Most people aged 5 and above know its the day after Thursday.
But as for liking Friday – TCCIF!
I’m trying to recall the Pratchett reference. (I ought to know it…)

My only Machu Picchu joke.
Archaeologist says, “I just returned from Machu Picchu.”
Friend says, “Gesundheit.”
See there again, more evidence that Hili and I are soulmates….
Okay, not poetic, but literary, and appropriate for this photo of Hili:
“It always gives me a shiver when I see a cat seeing what I can’t see.”
– Eleanor Farjeon
And this is one of the cutest Hili photos ever. Elle est charmante!

Meanwhile, Pokemon fans have discovered Macho Pikachu.
Let me guess…her incentives are feathered, right?
