Update from the house of Plague (Day 122 Year 2)

[elisi]

This has been a long week. (First whole week back in the office.)

So have a thread that almost made me cry as I walked home:

Sod it. Have a Friday history thread.

Let's talk about Simon. Ship's cat for HMS Amethyst. Survivor of the 1949 Yangtse Incident and the only cat ever to be awarded the Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross. pic.twitter.com/jCNZjnjVJd

Daily Dimash: Ocean Over Time

This is the theme song for Chinese video game called Moonlight Blade. It won Hollywood Music in Media Award in Los Angeles in 2017 in 'The best original song of video game' category.

It's basically like therapy. Also the game looks gorgeous and the lyrics are just beautiful.

Time
Is like a ship in the wind
Drifting far away by waves

Moonglow
Is like the shadows of a thousand sails on the water

Watch on YouTube

(Will probably come back & add other videos, but as I said - exhausted.)
