This week's title is Sitting Pretty. Clockwise from upper left: Rossi the grey-striped tabby cat in a wild place, two ducks hanging out, two pigeons sitting on a formal outdoor bust, some yellow daffodils, the public library at Inverness, a golden eagle statue in a gothic cathedral, Astrid's scary sun-face for her spring walk totem, a fluffy bird in extreme closeup, the Cite du vin wine museum in Bordeaux, and a picturesquely moss-covered disused bridge by the river.

We're taking a chance posting this. We're gambling that the internet is wrong again.

We're assuming that the 8 April solar eclipse is going to do what all the other solar eclipses have done since the dawn of time, which is confuse a few chickens. Although any area in the US with a Nineveh nearby has warned everyone to beware of possible traffic jams.

There are two Ninevehs in Pennsylvania. The other one is much bigger than our local unincorporated Nineveh. It's also closer to the Turnpike, so I imagine all the nutters will congregate down there.

In other words, things are going as usual on Planet Earth.

Having recovered from being April fools, our contributors have proceeded to send in lovely landscapes, flowers, and birds. Feast your eyes this week. Spring is upon most of us. Expect more flowers next week.

In the meantime, there are stories to read. Some of them are illustrated. There's a picture quiz to solve. Opinions are aired, jokes are told. Be kind as you comment. Awix has found some monsters to enjoy.

Have fun out there this week. Send more Stuff.
