Le jour des Pingouins

Bonne journée! ... des pingouins  // Have a good day! ... of penguins

Today is Penguin Day, apparently. Well, according to some. According to others, it's on the 25 or April or something, and the words like "awareness", "consciousness", etc. tend to crop up, but that's just boring. Especially since the cat is already in his tux and his beak. 

So, Happy Penguin day to y'all.

And here are some seaglass penguins having fun, just for the heck of it

solar

Beaucoup d'amis sont comme le cadran solaire ; ils ne marquent que les heures où le soleil vous luit // Many friends are like the sundial; they only mark the hours when the sun shines on you.
 

Today I have decided to take my cue from the wordle. I won't publish it till the wordle change, of course. 

So "solar" -- solaire or du soleil in French. 

Found an appropriate quote from Victor Hugo and everything.

Meanwhile, the cat is trying to solve the "sundial in the dark" problem with some help from a torch. I think it is working for him.
