Say I'm weary (because I am)

[flemmings]

...say I'm sad (because I'm that too)
Say that health and wealth have missed me (true, for certain values of health and wealth)
Say I'm growing old (oh yes am I not) but add-

It's Friday and it's cool and I will be grateful for those.

Also that there's a Japanologist called Timon Screech. I suppose it was such a Gormenghast name he couldn't bear to change it.

But when he starts talking about manga- oh dear. Clearly confuses Hikaru Nakamura the chess master (a guy) with Hikaru Nakamura the mangaka (a woman), and says straight-facedly, 'It’s interesting to see how the work is very Japanese but the characters are given mixed-race features.' You think?

At the moment it's being cool here, but the sky during the day was clear and a beautiful blue.

That's us. And how nice it is, until evening when one wonders 'Surely I don't have to turn the heat on?"

[incandescens]

Yes. That threshold state when it's not quite necessary to add an extra layer or turn the heater on, but at the same time one is conscious of a pleasant warmth when bundled up in bed.

And a concomitant reluctance to leave same, even for bathroom-going.

The voice of the "I don't want to get out of bed" is heard in the land.
