I showed Blathers the art I got from Redd hoping to donate to the museum, and was told it was in fact a fake! It’s a very good fake, at least. Not something I can give to the museum, but I can put it up in my room.
I’ll have to be more careful next time.

Did you know that in the 1960s there was a heliport next to the Ferry Building in San Francisco? From the 1960s to the 1980s, SFO Helicopter Airlines operated local helicopter flights between San Francisco and Oakland. In 1976, the company operated seventy-two flights a day to and from SFO. Did you ever fly on SFO Helicopter Airlines?

The island is beautiful. Palm trees, exotic fruits and flowers, clear ocean water. And Lloid, all the way out here loaning out items and acting as a general aid. How?
There were a lot of fun activities to do on the island.
Maze running
Diving
Scavenger hunts
Fishing
and catching the absolutely beautiful colorful butterflies that could be found on the island.
It was wonderful glorious fun. I went back with my pockets full of exotic fruit, fish, and bugs. The fruit of course was shared with my friends as I talked about my day, while the exotic fish and bugs were brought to the museum for Blathers to display. The aquarium looks so good with the new additions! And I love the butterfly room.
It was certainly a very busy visit.

0Noch etwas Kunst für daheim
Zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Covid-19 troubles verspüre ich einen starken Drang, Kunst aufzusuchen. Nach einigem Kreisgehader und Abgewäge entscheide ich mich, zu einer interessant klingenden Ausstellung zu fahren. Wenn es zu voll ist, setze ich mich einfach in den schönen Park vor dem Gebäude, denke ich mir, wenn es so leer wie sonst ist, ist es auch nicht gefährlich.
Die Ausstellung ist vorbildlich schlecht besucht, ich schaue mir den ersten Teil in Ruhe an und bin in jedem Raum allein. Ein weiterer Teil der Ausstellung befindet sich als Sonderausstellung in einem anderen Museum in der Stadt. Ich gehe dort hin und es ist noch schlechter besucht. Ich bin die einzige Besucherin im ganzen Haus, sonst sind nur MitarbeiterInnen anwesend. Da achten nun drei Leute darauf, dass ich das fragwürdige Fotografierverbot in der staubigen hauseigenen Sammlung einhalte, und natürlich erst recht in der Sonderausstellung.
Leider bin ich nicht so richtig entspannt, weil meine neue Maske nervt. Es atmet sich nicht gut mit ihr. Trotzdem arbeite ich mich durch alles, was es zu sehen gibt. Im Obergeschoss ist das letzte Stück der Sonderausstellung - ein Film. Ich finde das, was ich davon sehe, toll, aber ergoogle, dass er 40 Minuten dauert. Streng, wie das Museumspersonal sich bereits gezeigt hat, darf ich mich sicher auch nicht auf den Boden setzen. Zugleich ergoogle ich aber auch, dass man sich den Film online anschauen kann. Dann mach ich das doch daheim, sitzend und ohne Maske, denke ich, und verlasse das Museum mit einer Art filmischer doggy bag.

“The cholla, cut about four inches long, is sanded and sealed with wax. The tops of some of the cholla I dye in color. Then I bed them in cement. The finished floor produces a feeling of walking in a strange magic place. You see it; you feel it in your feet–texture on your toes, so to speak, a magic rug.”

The Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria in Galatina, Apulia Italy was built between 1369 and 1391 by order of Raimondello Orsini del Balzo, who climbed to the top of Sinai to pay tribute to the body of the Saint bringing a finger that is still preserves.

Every piece was painstakingly curated, secured, and tended to. Details like angle, lighting, height, all carefully planned and executed. The final pieces earning its rightful place in the now silent museum.
The glow of the evening sun cast the space in shades of rose gold hues. It was her favourite time of the day, when it was just her and the treasures of the world which held their silent stories in the very essence of their being. The stories of times long gone, and the imprints that leave the echo of the past ricocheting into days yet to pass.
Completing her final task, she turned and walked to the huge French window overlooking the lush gardens, blooming with colours of Spring. .
The sound of a muffled bang echoed down the hallway, followed by a low sound of a harsh curse. Glancing at her watch, a slight frown marred her face as she realised that there shouldn’t be anyone else in this part of the building. She resolutely gathered her wits about her and went towards the location where the sounds originated.
This is where the protagonist of the story dies, she thought ruefully. The route brought her to the museum’s conservatory. Deciding not to tip-off the possible intruder, she gingerly widened the gap between the glass doors, and silently slipped into the hall.
There she was met with the sight of a guy in the midst of… stealing…? a potted Philodendron Melanochrysum. “What do you think you’re doing?” He jumped in surprise, “shi- who, in Zeus’ name, are you?” “Don’t steal my line.” She retorted. He rubbed his nape sheepishly. “Well, I can explai-” “-You better.” She interjected. “Sassy aren’t you? Basically, my friend was looking for this plant, and I forgot about it, and since I remember seeing this species here-” “-you thought it would be a good idea to steal this then?” She questioned incredulously. When he nodded adorably, she just shook her head in defeat. “So, can I take it?” His eyes twinkled with mischief. “No. But I know where we can get another.”
And so the adventure began.
