My special 3-legged kitty #rescuecat Plinky, the sweetest specially to our rescue kittens. Always the gracious groomer and nanny to li’l kitties :) That’s her stump showing under her right rear leg.
There is a kind of sleep that steals upon us sometimes, which, while it holds the body prisoner, does not free the mind from a sense of things about it, and enable it to ramble at its pleasure.
The ambulatory (Med. Lat. ambulatorium, a place for walking, from ambulare, to walk) is the covered passage around a cloister. The term is sometimes applied to the procession way around the east end of a cathedral or large church and behind the high altar.

This view was painted nearly forty years after William Blake first went to Westminster Abbey for James Basire. Then he drew the mediaeval monuments of kings and queens ‘in every point he could catch, frequently standing on the monument and viewing the figures from the top’. In the left foreground of this watercolour is the canopied tomb of Queen Philippa of Hainault.
