I'd marry her this minute if she only would agree

I had a small but very successful Thanksgiving with my parents, with both of my husbands, and with [personal profile] nineweaving. I have been supplied with all the ingredients for a turkey terrific and a whole lot of apple crumble that doesn't need to be reconstructed into anything except me. My mother taped the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I leaned back into [personal profile] rushthatspeaks while we talked books and movies and theatrical stories. The photo was taken by [personal profile] spatch for [personal profile] selkie in condolence for the stressors of her holiday for which she was not the responsible party. The Sallust is from 1886, but I work with what I've got.

I am sure you will already have heard this, but (and v sorry if you have not): https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/nov/29/tom-stoppard-playwright-of-dazzling-wit-and-playful-erudition-dies-aged-88

Entirely unrelated, but more positive at least - I stumbled over the 1988 BBC Journey's End with Jeremy Northam, Edward Petherbridge & Timothy Spall on the IA, so I very much hope NOT region-locked this time, although if it is that makes three times I've tried to link you to it uselessly, at which point you should probably throw things at me!

(It looks every bit as much blurry VHS recording as the YT one; enjoy!)

It seems to play fine! Which is good, because that's what the Internet Archive is for!

Yay! At last! \o/
