Goe, and catche a falling starr

songAh, beautiful. The full - though alas modernised version - is available from e.g. here. I've used this before, though only incidentally so I think I'm allowed to use it as the headline now. The song is lovely though in my humble opinion runs out of steam and sheer madness in the third verse. While I'm on poetry I can also recommend So That's Who I Remind Me Of by Ogden Nash, h/t TF.

In other news, I managed my by-now-traditional Christmas day half, though not particularly quickly. And after some effort, we managed to set the Christmas pudding on fire. Boxing day will be quieter.

  1. WC should check his incendiary Christmas pudding link- it presently connects to The Climate Wars index

  2. Oops, though it actually links to blogger.com, so everyone gets to see their own. Anyway, fixed now.

  3. Where does UNEP stand on CCS systems that capture Christmas pudding combustion CO2, and sequester it in champagne until New Year's?
