Week 294: A musical within a musical
I didn’t do very much last week, which is probably why I haven’t got around to writing this until now. We spent Monday morning travelling back from the festival, I did a lot of laundry on Monday afternoon and Tuesday, and apart from that I’ve been tinkering with some software projects.
Week 293: Heliophagy
Thursday was yet another hottest day of the year, which reminds me of a classic Simpsons bit:
BART: This is the worst day of my life.
HOMER: The worst day of your life so far.Week 292: Pier review
I spent Monday doing nothing, watching TV series, taking a nap, and by the evening I felt mostly recovered from the previous weekend’s exertions.
Week 291: The Pilgrim’s Tale
Befell that, in that season on a day,
In Southwark at the Tabard as I lay,
Ready to wenden on my pilgrimage
To Canterbury with devout coráge,
At night was come into that hostelry
Well nine and twenty in a company
Of sundry folk, by áventure y-fall
In fellowship, and pilgrims were they all,
That toward Canterbury wouldë ride.Can you walk from London to Canterbury in less than 48 hours? Maybe. Should you? Probably not. But I did.
