White rabbits, May Day, Beltane, Spaghetti!

Greetings on all fronts. Continuing with the Pitman shorthand theme

It's also the Feast of St Joseph the Worker. I wonder if carpenters used shorthand.

And it's Beltane, between the spring and summer equinoxes, so here's some art

In France you rush out in search of Lily of the valley

In England you get out your Edith Holden

And at home, since May has set in with ferocity, the record rainfall now an icy wind, you stay home and warm and determine finally to read those classics. Or maybe find a shortcut

And Chez Boud, a pot of spaghetti was about right for lunch

Happy day everyone, enjoy whichever version you like.
