Today’s TCC has an image of the unicorn from the Lion and Unicorn staircase at UofG (no surprise, as I set this TDC). As ever, I have this poem in my head:

The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.

So what skills would a unicorn have? The patience to wait till the perfect time to oust a pretender, maybe? And charm, of course, to appear sweetness and light. But watch out for that horn – it can do serious damage!

Owls⤴

I spent part of Monday in the Hunterian Museum and as I wandered around the exhibits I was delighted to learn that Owls were greek coins and that a sheep was worth 2 goats. So this is my response for TDC5166

Reclaim your voice⤴

Today’s TDC asks us to talk about creativity and openness.  Here’s my response.

One thing I really appreciate about the Daily Create is that, because it is in the open, I have added motivation to complete it.  Left to my own devices I would sacrifice my creative urges to the need to do admin, or one of the other multiple tasks that invade my head and push out my creative musings.

Small acts of creativity keep me going through the drudgery of paid work.
