Qualité

La qualité a tendance à se déployer comme des vagues // Quality tends to fan out like waves

The third item on my prompt list is “quality”, qualité.

To illustrate, I chose the quote about Quality from Robert M. Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance*. The original quote comes in English. I can’t find it in French, although of course the book was translated into it.

Here is the cat, spreading some quality around, because he has much of it. Also, he is spreading some waves, not to waste time on undefinable, because quality cannot be defined, but waves can.

* My former colleague once told me that he found a copy of this book in the DIY section of Saffron Walden town library while looking for a book of bicycle repair.

Aujourd’hui est une journée spéciale

Normalement, le chat n’aime pas l’eau. Mais aujourd’hui est une journée spéciale. //
Normally, the cat doesn’t like water. But today is special.

Today is World Water Day and the cat is making an exception.

Unlike us, he can come out of the house, and he used this opportunity to the full.

Judging by the spruces on the horizon, the water-lily flower and the general serenity of the setting, he is in Finland somewhere. Good on him.

Well, looks like this one-pic-a-day challenge will be at least as long as Inktober, what with the quarantine prolonged and all. I have to generate my own list of prompts.
