[You get treated to some Beatles again today, friends. Only in the background, though. It's that kind of day.] For once, I don't actually have anything to say about that. Well, that hasn't already been said. It was awful and terrifying enough the first time that something like this came along and I really didn't want to repeat it. I couldn't even bring myself to fake it.

Or fight against it.

So if anyone was looking for myself or Petronilla, we were both fine. And unaffected.

Also, I hate asking the Admiral of anything so trivial, so...if you happen to keep any extra lamps or candles around, can I make use of them?

Not you, Doctor. I have enough of your lamps. I don't want to take any more.

[Friends Filter - This is a pretty open list at the moment...]

It's terrible timing but...today is a relatively mild day for me. Which...actually might be good. I'm the worst about wanting distractions more often than not, but if you need something now, I can do it. A drink. A swim. Coffee. Tea. Something. I know that...whatever it was...has to be hard.

Then you are most welcome to use them.

That's a nice song, by the way.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It seems poetry and good music is a trend. I thought I might give my own.

After your time, though.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

A rather good trend, if you ask me.

I had guessed as much, but it doesn't stop me appreciating it.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

They have all sorts of songs. Many of them are a little more...upbeat.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

...I was going to ask if there was a reason for that song in particular.

Do you have any... records of theirs?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

There was. But it might ruin it if I try and explain.

I just have tapes, but I can let you borrow it and a player, if you want. I actually think I only have one record here and it was given to me. And it's certainly not the Beatles.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Understandable. You are welcome to, though.

I may have to take you up on the offer. Can I ask what the record is?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I'll trade you borrowed lamps for a borrowed player with a Beatles tape.

And it's Art Mooney.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a fair enough trade.

An American artist?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I assume so. I can bring it one day and let you listen to it. I haven't actually been able to do that in months since no one I know has the capabilities.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Really? Are they so obsolete by your time?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Yes. Well, almost, yes. It's all tapes or CDs now.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Ah, so the record was not yours to begin with? Or... a curiosity, perhaps?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

No. It was given to me here, by a...friend who lived during the forties.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see.

Then I will feel privileged to hear it.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Just name a time. And a day, I suppose. Since we're both in the infirmary.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

When we're not... quite so busy?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't be too long.

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

I hope so.
