One glass of wine, and i'm belting out Ivor Novello songs with the original artists! Thank goodness, I had the common sense to switch from Mary Ellis and Vanessa Lee to Olive Gilbert and Trefor Jones, whose ranges I can sing without ruining my voice! I don't even want to be a supprano! Why on Earth didn't I just transpose them as always? And now, I shall return to my own personal Eisteddfod, as I listen to the tripple harp, while reading The Mabinogion (, in English, of course_). I blame this squarely on Ivor Novello and his mother! They sent me down this delightful rabbit whole of Welsh exploration. I was perfectly happy being bored and quiet. Now, I've got all sorts of theatre people to research and an entirely new genre of music and instrument to learn about! And hello to anyone Welsh reading this. Thank you for your beautiful music and lovly stories! I'm enjoying them emensley.
Update. Haha. That didn't work. After a few songs, I went back to Novello. Ah well. I'm still smiling.

The Spirit of Christmas is weird
Nothing quite says 'Spirit of Christmas" like lopping down an 80yo Norwegian pine, and shipping it over to Trafalgar Square, so millions of foreigners can watch it slowly die over the next few weeks.

Deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza
"Denn die deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza steht außer Frage – auch wenn die Richter des IGH erst in Jahren abschließend urteilen werden, ob es sich dabei im juristischen Sinne um einen Völkermord handelt oder nicht."

En tant que #décroissant pauvre, je ne sais si je dois payer 100 ou 200 € à le faire réparer ou si j'en rachète un d'occase.
Des conseils ?

I haven't been here in a few days. Nothing happened. I was just busy with documentaries and preparing my virtual machines by removing unwanted programs, cleaning them up, etc., all in preparation for my new tablet! I never thought, in my life, that I would buy a tablet, because I'm obsessed with using a keyboard. But after constantly shorting mine out, due to hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating), I decided that I may as well get one, so that I could change the keyboard when needed. Plus, this is a Toughpad, so it can withstand pretty much anything. Did I mention it's small? Barring desktops, I hate large computers. How anyone can consider 11.6 inches to be a mini laptop is beyond me. This one is 7 inches, which suits me well. I even found the perfect bag to go along with it, and it holds the Toughpad, plus my Galaxy A15, plus my keyboard! It's also water-proof and wonderfully cushioned.
