It’s Wednesday, at least in much of the world, and April 6. On this day in 1895, Oscar Wilde was arrested in London for homosexuality and, exactly one year later, the modern Olympic games were inaugurated. Google celebrates that today with its Doodle, a drawing which changes each time you access it. Click on the screenshot:
On this day in 1930, Gandhi began the famous Salt March, a protest against the British prohibition of Indians making salt by evaporating seawater. And, on this day in 1968, Pierre Trudeau won the election that led to his becoming Prime Minister of Canada. On this day in 1483, the great Raphael was born, and in 1810, Philip Henry Gosse. Those who died on this day include Raphael, who apparently died on his birthday in 1520, Jules Bordet (1961), Igor Stravinsky (1971), Isaac Asimov (1992), Tammy Wynette (1998), Mickey Rooney (2014), and Ray Charles (2015).
Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, The Princess is resting comfortably on Andrzej’s chest:
Malgorzata: Shall we go for a walk?
Hili: Let us rest a while longer.
In Polish:
Małgorzata: Idziemy na spacer?
Hili: Daj nam jeszcze trochę odpocząć.
Lagniappe: a photo of an ACTUAL CEILING CAT, sent by reader Ed Suominen with this information:
Leo crawled behind something on the second floor and is now evaluating his options.
It is also the birthday in 1588 of Thomas Hobbes…

I think Andrzej has been…pinned.
