CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@miriamrobern as a reader in both English and French "tableaus" feels wrong and it would startle me if I came upon it. In French it's tableau/ tableaux, so I'd expect to see this one. I'm no English native speaker though, so I don't know which form has been assimilated in the current language.

@TheDonsieLass ooooh, what a marvelous thing would be to visit Wales! I'd strive to visit every landmark described in the books and superimpose what I'd see before my eyes over what it had been all those centuries ago. But no doubt the changes would be so radical that... maybe it's better to just keep seeing those places in my imagination.

@snoopy_jay oops, I thought my answers showed only to the respective correspondent, I apologize for flooding the thread with them. Still need to better understand interactions here.

@JessMahler thank you.

@wordsmith thank you, indeed the warm welcome of the community is so encouraging! I'm surely going to greet newcomers too and help them feel at home in this place.

@noujoum thank you!

@redtailworks thank you, nice to meet such a warm community!

@VoiceofDuum here I am, bringing my small drop of influence to the Fedi

@tuckerm thank you, I'm happy you like my work, this means a lot to me.

What am I reading now: I have just started the second volume of the Welsh Princes trilogy by Sharon Kay Penman - "Falls the Shadow". I was so immersed in the first book, at the point I had to take a break from the series and come back to reality. Reality was a bit too chaotic for me, so I found refuge in Hamnet, finished it two days ago and since last night I'm back in XIII century Wales.
