Two of my friends run a podcast focusing of different historical events. It is worth a listen for anyone who has any interest in history.

SOLVED: Piggle by Crosby Bonsall
This was a children's picture book I read years ago and have never been able to find. All I remember is a little boy with a turban who got made fun of. He might've been chased by bees at some point. The turban was either red or blue (my sister and I disagree), and there could've been pigs in the book. Or maybe just the phrase "Higgledy Piggledy." Or maybe that was his nickname? I also think he was at a river at some point.
If anyone can figure this out, you're my personal savior. I've been trying to remember it for years.

Forgive the weird description - I’ve never read the book myself so I’m pulling parts out of a conversation between my family, who are trying to piece the whole thing together.
My husband & his brothers used to read this book with their mum in the early to mid 90s, though they think it’s likely that it was first published a while before that.
We think the book title may be the same as the name of the main character (but not dead certain about that apparently). They think a witch may feature in there somewhere too.
If anyone can help, we’ll be eternally grateful!
Just heard a radio ad say this one. I recommend the link because there are many sources/explanations, most of them mentioning pigs.

I need a fix because I'm now having to sort the worksheet under the date column
I think I need to be able to do a global convert of the format of the whole worksheet, that will not result in my "dates" eg 2012/10/24 changing to another number like 41206. But how?
Any assistance?
The meeting had been co-ordinated between the two individuals secretaries, Fliyora's being a young sounding lady with a distinctly Agnolian accent.
The meeting took place in the Holsord city centre, a couple of streets away from the hustle and bustle of its highstreets. The alleys were higgledy-piggledy in such an old city and may have been a mildly disorienting destination for those not familiar with it.
In one tan alleyway lay a small coffee shop tucked away snugly, it's front of black wooden paneled windows that seemed to slide open during the warmer months but inside it was homely with a warm stove in the center. Fliyora was sat a table away from the front door with a newspaper and coffee, his overcoat draped on his chair and dressed in a simple beige tweed suit, white shirt and blue and red striped tie. His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration, semi-obscured by the thick black frames of his glasses.
My partner has been wanting us to reorganise our bookshelf by colour for a while and today I got fed up of look at them all higgledy piggledy and decided to do it.
I was sceptical that It’d look good but it actually is very pleasing🤩
Roughly 110 hours to get to the credits and I'd have to say only a very small bit of it was not enjoyable, those few times where a seemingly much stronger than usual monster is introduced and kicked my ass, like Diablos. Nergigante and Teostra punished me for not watching them enough, but going back to them later I was able to figure them out and do much better, so I'd have to say they're well-designed.
The monsters are all pretty unique I suppose, although I have the general understanding that a lot have been around for years in other games. I get the feeling that they were all picked because they would properly fit a map's theme or biome, and not just thrown in higgledy-piggledy.
The armors have more character than the weapons, at least until the very end of the rarity tree. I would have liked to have had more freedom in choosing looks over skills, though, even though I hear there's layered armor, it's still much later in the game? I really kind of used a half Leginana set for the quest rewards, then switched to Vaal Hazak for the healing crutch for everything else.
I've only tried three weapons, Switch Axe, Light Bowgun, and Insect Glaive. SA was my main for the longest time but up around Vaal I just felt I wanted to try something new and started experimenting with the other two before settling on IG. IG is fun because it has some of those swooping attacks that I liked about SA, but attacks faster and offers more mobility. Trying to get the extract color I want, however, is somewhat annoying. But on the other hand, I got a cool looking bug too. I want to try other weapons just to use or have the cooler looking ones, so I'll probably spend another 20 hours farming stuff like Vaal Hazak for his stupid fangs and claws so I can build other things and test their predecessors out on him at the same time, before finally moving on to see what Iceborne has.
Sort of the real reason I made this post, before I decided I wanted to offer thoughts on the game, was little things I noticed during the ending.
One, I know everyone likes to point out Wyverian fingers and feet on fanart, and I thought that the banquet scene had at least one good example of bare Wyverian feet briefly in the Third Fleet master as they stood around.
Two was that a portion of the credits showed a moon that was probably an actual picture of the real-world moon, setting over the horizon. And that the sun came up over the same horizon. Is there worldbuilding regarding the world of Mo

Describing my beautiful, exciting hometown:
I’m in Digbeth and all human life is here. During the day, creatives create in the Custard Factory, mods and hipsters hunt down vintage clothes, and blokes in grimy overalls build motorbikes or harvest salvable bits from broken cars. The area is awash with social enterprises, beautiful churches, interesting architecture and an incredibly diverse population. Well-heeled hipsters rub shoulders with hard-up homeless, and barefoot babbies with wild hair play in the courtyard of the ramshackle flats above the coach station. Later on, things will liven up even more as foodies arrive at Digbeth Dining Club, and Peaky Blinders tourists from all over the world follow Professor Carl Chinn on his walking tour somewhere over by The Rainbow and down Lower Trinity Street. Their paths will cross with locals meeting their mates for a big gig at The Institute, a little gig at Mama Roux’s, or a sixties Soul happening at the Night Owl. As dusk closes in, the paint on state-of-the-art graffiti murals and ancient ghost signs will appear to be the only thing stopping the higgledy-piggledy buildings from toppling over onto the streets they overlook, and queues of revellers will snake along the narrow pavements outside clubs that look like drop forges, mainly because they’re converted drop forges.

So, I have reconciled myself to the fact that it would be irresponsible and difficult to go on any kind of foreign trip this year. I get my second vaccination towards the beginning of May but the situation abroad is just too fluid to be able to plan much with anything approaching certainty and I don't want to end up frustrated having done nothing.
Instead, I am going home to cycle to all 133 whisky distilleries in Scotland. It'll be over 4,100km in length with over 38,000m of elevation and, because it is Scotland, I will also be going back to wild camping for the majority of the trip.
Route map is available at: Uisge BeasagaI (1 man, 1 bicycle, 133 distilleries) | Komoot
I plan to start at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society vaults in Edinburgh and go in a rough clockwise direction, finishing in Glasgow at the famous Pot Still whisky pub after about 45-50 days. So, I'll head south first, hitting the Halewood Chain Pier, North British, Holyrood and Glenkinchie distilleries en route to the Borders distillery and the first overnight stop. Thereafter, I head west through the distilleries of Dumfries, Galloway and Ayrshire before crossing to Arran and a particular highlight for me; the Isle of Arran distillery at Lochranza. Then a bit of hopping about Argyll to the giants of Campbeltown and Islay as well as Jura, Mull, Ardnamurchan and Oban. From Oban, it's across the sea to the Western Isles where I'll do the Hebridean Way and the Barra, Harris and Abhainn Dearg distilleries before crossing the sea again, this time to Skye. After Skye, I'll head inland past Glenfinnan to Ben Nevis before swinging north through Glen Shiel to join (against my better judgement) the NC500 at Strathcarron for the ascent of Bealach na Bà and the distillery-free road through Torridon, Assynt and Caithness to Thurso. I'll hop on a ferry to Stromness and cycle across the Orkney mainland to Kirkwall and another of my highlights, Highland Park. Then, it's another ferry back to mainland Scotland where I'll pick up the NC500 again and 10 distilleries en route to Inverness.
To fit everything in, it gets a little higgledy-piggledy after Inverness. I'll first head south through Aviemore, Kingussie and Pitlochry before swinging east through Angus then following the coast north to Aberdeen and the new kid on the block, Lone Wolf of Brewdog fame. After that, I come into Huntly then north to Banff
