It's too expensive to fly there for me and I'm all out of time off from work 😭
I'll be online for it though.

'Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.
Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning'
excerpt from Rain, by Raymond Carver.

It's one of my favorite stories and I think the film did an amazing job of adapting it.
The anime style suited it really well and other than a few story choices I didn't like it was excellent

Fighting the post Oxonmoot blues, back to work doesn't feel right.
Need to keep myself (better) immersed in Tolkien as I've lost my way of late
Oxonmoot is always a highlight but I miss connecting with people

To the organisers to everyone who did a presentation, Thank you
I might have taken a tiny step into stewarding this year but it was barely a scratch in comparison to what a lot of those folk do.
