I was wrestling with a coat hanger, can you guess who won?

Despite spending rather more of the afternoon at the doctor's than planned, I do not consider the day a total loss because it contained an unexpectedly successful nebulizer treatment, the acquisition of bagels and chopped liver, a cinnamon cake donut, and ashlyme introducing me to Idris the Dragon. I have now seen what a gas station looks like when the fire suppression system has been deployed. Fell over in the evening and went down a rabbit hole of Boston vintage radio. Read some film criticism by Graham Greene. Am still not really watching movies myself. My brain could come back online any time.

Ivor the Engine is a treasure of my childhood, especially Idris the dragon.

I can understand that! He's lovely! I had never seen any of the show.

GASP the oldest black-and-white versions used to be on YouTube (at least 10-12 years ago), and the series was delightfully lefty-communitarian in its philospohy. You need these!

That is great news about the nebulizer!!

ps My ring tone is Ivor's parp theme

I found one of the black-and-white episodes! I am always curious about the original versions of things. I am not sure if the rest are still on YouTube, although the color episodes seem readily available and I am certainly enjoying the one-and-so-far-one-half I've seen.

That is great news about the nebulizer!!

Thank you!

I think that's wonderful.
