So today, I had to correct an American tour guide. I use that term lightly. Where I live, we have a cathedral and it has many carvings. One of which is this one. Now, I volunteer in the cathedral. I volunteer in the library. I STUDY THIS STUFF.
It is a lion attacking a gryphon. Gryphons used to be the symbol of christ until major religious upheaval and such, so the lion was used
So..
Her: and here we have a lion killing a rhino.
Me:*walks up* excuse me that's wrong.
"I beg your pardon?"
"The animal the lion is attacking is not a rhino, it is a gryphon. It has wings. Up until the 17th century in england, the gryphon was the symbol of christ. The lion came in much later. Medieval people may have been stupid by today's standards yes... but there were fairs, court fairs and drawings of rhinos dating back to the 12th century. We have the books in the cathedral library."
Woman *blinks in confusion*
Me: oh! And if you care to look on the otherside, you will see the carving of the fat lion with the Skeleton of the gryphon
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A RHINO.
Can... can Americans please learn?

Soooo, I have neglected to post for rather a while, I have gotten more back into the swing of doing my reading now, having put Moby dick on the back burner for a while. I have done quite a few interesting things during this rainy, english summer though. I went to see an open air production of sense and sensibility at a castle with my parents which was quite good except there was more audience participation than I thought. One of my uni friends came to visit, we saw Barrie (my second time) and visited some nearby cities and towns, and we went to Durham where we got massive portions of food from a resteraunt and where we saw Gaia in Durham Cathedral. More recently, I went to a record fair and got four records that I am very happy with (Maisy held them up for me for the picture), and last night I customised my lock screen using one of the pictures I took of Gaia and I just think it looks swell (the home screen I paired it with is the cover art for my favourite ABBA album, The Visitors) <333
