La iglesia de San Martín de Artáiz (S. XII) presenta una de las portadas más interesantes del románico de Navarra, ello es debido a su magnífica decoración escultórica y a su diversidad iconográfica. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ arteviajero.com/articulos/po...

"Collins has snowed a lot of people; if you read the typical fare from the political media, you’ll mostly see her characterized as a pro-choice Republican who, somehow or another, keeps casting pivotal votes that further the ends of the anti-abortion movement." #MEpolitics

It all comes down to Maine. It comes down to us. We know what’s at stake. We know that a vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Donald Trump. Let’s win this thing and take back the Senate.

Pour experimenter une conversion type Chemin de Damas. Note pour pedophiles: eviter de demander a votre fils qui vous prend pour un saint de ranger vos vieilles caisses de photos... Le frere de la duchesse voit les photos, reconnait son pere et file avec les dites caisses au FBI le plus proche ⬇️

Pour ne pas faire de jaloux voyage aux Philippines ou son pere a reside avec copie des dites caisses pour le bureau local de police le plus proche. Pour ensuite livrer un communique a 2 tabloids le Sun & le Daily Mail, des journaux anti-Sussex. Epidemie de petits souliers journalistiques⬇️

Today aside ticking 3 boxes of Pedantic Bingo Card, I have found the origin of the word bijou. Bijou in French is jewellery. Yet in Britain&US it goes as small and elegant bijo shop, bijou hotel. Wheras in French a bijou can be quite large. Well bijou is from Wales and Brittany. Suggesting at least⬇️

Bijou comes from Biz finger! and it was a small finger in Breton and Cymric. As I get old, I find joy in etymology. Anyhow, it was a good day! Wishing my #bluesky friends same joys.
