Fierce as the Baltic sea

It is my birthday. I am forty-four years old, the age some fictional character must be. I woke to a pair of packages, one from [personal profile] nineweaving that proved to be Vaughn Scribner's Merpeople: A Human History (2020) and from my parents which was a DVD of The Sea Wolf (1941). Hestia was a small black round of purr like an extra present at the foot of the bed. It is bright and brisk and cloudless as all the classical autumns outside.

I don't think I had heard it and I do like it!

I'm so glad you do! The same album (which is 20 years old already--how is that possible?), also has a song about train journeys, which you might appreciate too! <3
