The Day Today

[smokingboot]

It happened 4 years ago today.

I had a little bit of nightmare activity last night, a little bit the night before, but that will pass. Does it help to mark the day? I don't know, and I can't quite analyse it yet.

Whimsy and I spoke yesterday; faced with our friend probably staying tonight and tomorrow, she would indeed like company for supper, so I'll pop along. It will mean coming back by bus in the dark, but last night's full moon was very lovely; I lose nothing by travelling if tonight is as clear.

And it's a good day for helping out. Our friend will be drink-free, tobacco-free, missing his home and fed up of friendly advice. I suspect the evening could have a cantankerous edge to it...

Something I learned last year, that I thought might tickle you.

When you're sailing at night, and a light goes on and off, there are two descriptions for it.

A light is flashing when there is more darkness than light, and occulting when there is more light than darkness.

Thank you, you are right - it tickles a lot, and tempts me to make lame jokes about brilliance :-)
