But, when they should transform to newts, are naughty and erratic
Yesterday I felt optimistic enough about this cold to go out and meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ratatosk for lunch at Dave's Fresh Pasta and then hang out until the evening, trying not to cough on anyone too badly and mostly succeeding. (He has two books of Walter Garstang. I got to watch a puppet feed a cat. It was great.) Today I am back to drinking soup and sounding like a TB ward. Rabbit, rabbit. Other less festive noises. Links.
1. I didn't know anyone had written a revamp of Five Children and It. Can someone who isn't me read this first and tell me what on earth it's like?
2. I have tickets next week for Peter Maxwell Davies' The Lighthouse at the Boston Lyric Opera. I've never heard the opera, but it's based on the mystery of the Flannan Isles light (and I got a discount for being an ex-Opera Boston subscriber). I am looking forward.
3. I hope people do come to refer to this work, academically, as the Whoopensocker Dictionary.
4.cucumberseed: Cookiethulhu.
5. This documentary really sounds like porn for me.

no subject
It's the first words you say for luck on the first day of the month. I got it from my mother's side of the family; I have no idea of its cultural origins. Various people I've met over the years say the same or some slight variant and nobody seems to have any idea where it comes from.
