    Looks really splendid. The background in a couple of the pics looks like a quadrangle of the University of Glasgow, which I attended many years ago. Am I correct?

    Well spotted, John. It is indeed a mural of the Cloisters at Glasgow University. It is Anne's Alma Mater as well. The mural is 12' x 6' feet and fills a wall in the stairwell of the flat. If you are keen, it can be made up in any size and it was dead easy to hang. It comes in two self adhesive strips and it can actually be peeled off and reapplied elsewhere up to 50 times if you need to move it. Believe it or not it was not prohibitively dear. It looks really stunning in the space.

    Thank you for the information on your jacket, Orionson, and with that story behind it, I think it is an absolute treasure. Continue to wear it in good health. Cheers.

    Thought you might enjoy a shot of the mural on its own.

    Bravo, Orionson! What a fantastic look.

    Amazing jacket repair as well, the story on that one made me laugh.

    My thoughts exactly!
    That's either one very small moose or very LARGE jacket -- and a wonder anything is left of it!

    Handsome sporran; pretty girl.

    I like that earthtone look as well, and you can't beat the work of Artificer as I have a couple of his sporrans, as well.

    Yep . . . nailed it. 9.9 out of a possible 10. I always judge low.

    Beautiful sporran, and the earth tones all blend seamlessly. Congratulations.
