I told you when I came I was a stranger

Rabbit, rabbit.

Today is the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. I like the idea of the war dead taking trains across Britain, handing out their names. [livejournal.com profile] ashlyme shared with me Darren Hayman's Thankful Villages. No ghosts should be walking their streets today.

[livejournal.com profile] strange_selkie tells me that archaeologists have discovered the tunnel from Ponar. The story was always real. I rejoined with Freeman Bernstein, speaking of the accuracy of oral tradition.

Readercon starts in just less than a week. I'll post my schedule as soon as it's finalized. In the meantime, I have acquired a new T-shirt for the purpose.

I hope to spend the afternoon with my husband and the history of radio. [edit] The history of radio was not open to the public, so we went to a really beautiful diorama of Cashes Ledge instead.

we're here because we're here

I have known (and sung) that song for ages but had no idea it was connected with WWI. Youtube knew, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA730QtjOBE
