The Devil is a patriot, a proper party man
After a weekend of worsening listlessness, brainlessness, and general malaise, I finally saw a doctor and seem not to have any of the currently circulating plagues, but was sent home with a new inhaler and instructions to medicate myself like the nineteenth century on account of my lungs sounding terrible. I would so very much like to be able to think about anything that matters to me. Have some links.

3. I had occasion last night to share Donald Swann's recording of "Lord of the Dance," from his Sydney Carter-penned EP Songs of Faith and Doubt (1964). I am never going to get over the existence of this version and I also happen to like it.
4. I am delighted that the latest bog body discovery went through the normal stage of checking out a recent homicide before settling on the Ice Age, but I really love the universal and automatic association with Seamus Heaney.
5. Ainsley Hawthorn's "The Sea, Like Glass" (2024) is a marvelous haunting of sea and selves.

Yeeesh. I hope she is feeling better these couple of weeks later.
This winter's bugs are just nasty, even when you haven't got them. Lots of things crossed for inhaled improvements.
Thank you very much. Strength to your lungs, too.
*hugs*
