izmeinaIzzie's been lazy. Supposed to get back to squiggling now the Fringe Festival is over and the sizzling summer is nearly over.
Did a bit or a Putz Blitz in the Lair this evening with the odd 10 minutes here & there devoted to reading my latest stash from the local library.
I wasn't even looking today but saw the book "The Gift of Fear" on display.
I had been actually looking for it last month so I'm happy with my catch
Also got tempted by another book on display
"Enchanted Creatures - our monsters and their meaning" about the history of interesting creatures.
The chapter devoted to Snake Women was a temptation too delicious to resist.
Apparently for primates, snakes are the original monsters. Fear of them is hardwired & they just keep popping up in creation stories all over the world.
Maybe I am a changeling after all since I find our serpentine foes to be more fascinating than terrifying
I had planned to mention some of magical fringe shows I went to but they will have to wait for another day
