Toadfish Monastery

I usually prefer spruce gum (one has to get just the right consistency, or it becomes a sticky mess that stay in your teeth for hours), or black poplar buds - especially if I have a sore throat (analgesic and anti-microbial) - but birch has its uses. That birch bark tar is supposed to be a reliable adhesive for many things and would likely have been manufactured in significant amounts for other uses. Haven't got around to making a batch here yet.  I do have a pot of chaga (birch fungus) tea brewing today.

A new crepuscular anteater found solace in tapping syncopated rhythms using its front teeth and certain keepers held barely back by wire entanglements installed by nefarious and malodorous penguins.  Meanwhile, within a crenellated battlement on top of a gothically inspired garden shed the multifarious congregation of dispassionate but elaborately coiffed and manicured chow chows held a conference of (to them) unknown importance. The head gardener waved incessantly during every episode of the Coronation Comedies before any ceremonial heralds were able to overcome and conquer the ever present yet well hidden banjo playing striped marsupials whose fur - mottled as the major lepidoform hexapode - stuck their hair straight without any discernible or even identifiable sign of nodular protuberances anywhere to accompany their dark and irritating lice. This development called for an insincere acknowledgement of the underlying and syncopated prolonged alterations of magnificent and luminescent lion manes that had ignominiously begun to sprout superficially adipose red lice infested with azure tapeworms.  Resplendent with luxurious overcoats ornated with Swarovski crystals, FrangiPhangi II, the recent High Priestess of fabulous and rabulistic natural ablutions, made an unprecedented appearance at the palatial Palace of the Palatine Hills with her entourage of resplendent and voluptuous pond-maids while her daugther waited for an opportunity to use her new prayer beads to help with the monstrous deeds that her highly disreputable fourth cousin, a misstep of epic proportions, enacted while no single individual within the House of Thurn and relevant areas having any sign of being involved, the President of the musical society, planned to end their tumultuous relationship before any of their appendages exploded.
Consequently, no sentients were unconsciously condescending members of the unconsecrated bishops in Konstanz upon
