Vijzelgracht 39 in Amsterdam is a historic building with a rich history. Built in the 17th century, and given a simple neck gable with plain, undecorated volutes in the 18th century. 🏠

On the first floor, where the Smiley flag is fluttering fierce, a 17th-century window arrangement is still intact. 🙂

The most famous yellow smiley face was designed in 1963 by Harvey Ball, an American graphic artist. The design featured a simple yellow circle with black dots for eyes and a curved smile. However, Ball never trademarked it, and the design spread widely. 🤨

Things I miss from the UK: Flag Paints Rust Converter. Bought on recommendation from a fellow sailor. It's so good. Goes on dark grey, turns solid black as it does its thing and dries super fast. Then can be painted over (or left as is in nonexposed areas). Water based, so easy to clean tools and not very harmful.

It's way better than the usual phosphoric acid, not least of all because you can see what you have already painted.

Any smugglers? 😁

Only Canada, N.S. flags allowed outside schools on Nova Scotia's South Shore
A Nova Scotia centre for education has issued a directive allowing only Canada and Nova Scotia flags to fly outside South Shore schools — a move the provincial teachers union calls concerning and confusing.

“The use of an inverted ensign--the national flag flown upside down--as a distress signal dates back many years, apparently originating in British practice but carried over to the United States at an early date. The U.S. Flag Code says that the American flag should never be flown upside down except as a signal of dire distress, which would appear to give the practice official sanction.”
