Put your circuits in the sea

After years of not even being able to pirate it, [personal profile] spatch and I have finally just finished the first series of BBC Ghosts (2019–23), during which he pointed out to me the half of the cast that had been on Taskmaster. I recognized a guest-starring Sophie Thompson.

This article on the megaliths of Orkney got Dave Goulder stuck in my head, especially once one of the archaeologists interviewed compared the Ring of Brodgar to sandstone pages. "They may not have been intended to last millennia, but, now that they have, they are stone doors through which the living try to touch the dead."

I wish a cult image of fish-tailed Artemis had existed at Phigalia, hunting pack of seals and all.

Any year now some part of my health could just fix itself a little, as a treat.

Oh, I'm glad you're finally getting to see Ghosts! I am still very fond of it, despite (IMO, and without spoilery details) its terrible ending. There are some good fics too.

It would be nice! I hope it does. <3
