My team of artists have solved the problem of the falling arch in my walls: flying buttresses!  Notice Leonarda's curious model in the background.  What could it be for?

Leonarda's uncanny likeness of his highness!  Note the likeness, the ratios, the beauty!  She has captured the sternness of a ruler, and the wisdom of a philosopher I aspire to!  Extraordinary talent in that artist!

Villa Woodensia, in the district Park da Grove, Southorangia.  My trusty Swiss Guard Life Preserver, Maggio.

Holdenardo's green pouch he made for his tools and his curious backwards writing in his journal.  What secrets could it hold?

Here is Micahnardo's torsion catapult. He designed the model on Tuesday and it went the furthest of all the torsion catapults.  Holdenardo's catapult (not pictured here) was most elegant, with a slender, graceful "band of gum" twisted for the power: alas, it was too graceful for the cruelness of war and broke!

Here is Micahnardo's tension catapult built on Wednesday.  We have yet to compare it's distance to the other spirng and torsion catapults.  That will be on Friday!

Here is the compression-spring catapult model made by one of my energetic craftsmen.  Note the spring in the middle of the catapult.

The new artistsans worked on a catapult: first trying the compression-spring type.  Tomorrow will be the torsion type, and after that the tension type.

It has been a busy week at camp, and out of it!  So am only now getting to post items

Monday:  Prince Woody started off the Week dealing with the departure of Exacto last week.  After years of excellent years designing machines and art, Exacto left for the south of Italy.  Today Prince Woody met three potential replacements:  Micahnardo, Holdenardo, and Leanarda (aka Gracanarda).  He hopes they will work out.
