It's a bit of a personal smile but I hope it might raise a chuckle in others as well. After all, we've all experienced it, that moment when an eagle unexpectedly lands on your head...

You mean... that doesn't happen to everyone...? Ok, maybe not an eagle. But definitely dinosaurs. Definitely. 8)

Most resonant perhaps to fellow Flanders & Swann fans, but I thought it might raise a giggle in others as well :-)

I posted this in Trade & Sell just now in response to Lyudmila, but it struck me it would be rather good in this thread as well :-)

Absolutely love the detail of the hawking glove. Brilliant. Luttrell Psalter, I presume?

I haven't tried to track the image but it wouldn't surprise me. Although other Psalters yield similar treasures, like knights fighting snails :-)
