As a young boy, I became obsessed with the Bayeux Tapestry. My parents had a collection of National Geographics including the one with the entire tapestry on it. So the hanging in this page is totally an homage to this. And my Better Half insisted that I remove the looms that I’d started to put in this section of the comic. This is what happens when you know people who can sew. Since the Norns aren’t making tapestries, it didn’t make sense. In the end, it had more verisimilitude. And now we see why it was important to talk to the Norns.

Great video. I teach French and it is aylwas nice to tell your students why there are so many French words in the English language. Compliments for all your posts.
Julian,
What video are you referring to? And was the French comment about the Bayeux Tapestry reference?
I too loved seeing the tespatry. I also went to Normandy beach and the English one. The people there are equal in friendliness and genuine to the southwestern part. Of course I have loved every part of France that I have visited. I only wish I were younger and could be 40 yrs old again so I could live longer to tell everybody how warm and fuzzy the French people are to me. Now I’ve met two that weren’t and guess what they were Americans playing the role of being French.
