This is in Catalan, but very helpfully has subtitles in Spanish. The great Maria del Mar Bonet. 1974.

"Watch the Sea"

French translation (although my anti-virus blocks it):

And @edrew.bsky.social also says that if you like Stivell, you'll like Anne Sylvester. A storyteller.

@billymills.bsky.social This one comes recommended by @edrew.bsky.social. 'Un gabier' is a sailor - the 'topman' who deals with the sails

I'm now remembering my very first airline booking fuck up, which was also my first time booking tickets on the Internet, in like 2001.

My father & I were traveling fr Calif to Costa Rica, and my mom,who always does the travel logistics, wasn't coming with us, so she left it in our untrained hands.

Please tell me your stupidest travel mistake stories. I am currently on route from SFO to OAK on Bart bc I got to SFO and 1) learned I had unintentionally cancelled both legs of my flight when I changed my return flight 2) I was too late to even get on standby bc I cut it too close

Yes, I know. But CC is no Michael D. Neither candidate is suited to the role we're being asked to elect them to, in my view. For very different reasons, but equally unsuited, I believe.

It's not political office.

I know what you mean, and I always vote, but this time out it's very much not the least worst but the least absolutely dreadful.

And four days after that I'll be in the Hancock Museum, talking to @rsmythfreelance.bsky.social about his many books on natural history and the natural world, why North East nature is just better, and his new project on the political history of conservationism: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/richard-sm...
