Senses working overtime #457

1 Feeling this week (with a seven day virus)




2 Reading: Anne Tyler's Ladder Of Years




Thanks to some time off work dealing to that virus, I have moved on to this after finally finishing Killing Commendatore (681 pages!!). 

I'm about halfway through Roderick Random as well. Ladder of Years has been in the to-be-read pile for over a year - it's time is now!


3 Listening: Donovan's For Little Ones




I've been after this second half of his superb 1967 double album A Gift From A Flower To A Garden for ages. Finally found one in Real Groovy.

If you want just one song - try The Mandolin Man and His Secret.


4 Watching: Yellowstone




Having finished Netflix' three seasons of The Good Doctor, we've moved on to this one, also on Netflix.


5 Listening: Robert Scott - The Green House




The week saw the welcome return of the Wander To Wozza's Music Club (WTWMC) - wherein three intrepid amigos trade album recommendations. 

This is our fourth year of this enterprise. Our 2023 playlist is here


Overtime: On love

Teacher and author Bruce Coville:

"Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can't hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart."
