oh, yeah 19 feels like 9

and not my age - the temperature in F
and it doesn't sound any better in C either

Coffee, yes 
Awake no
Happy - the jury is out

And a winner on Netflix , called ' the Dig ' or the story of Sutton Hoo. Who ?
A landowner,  widow tries to fulfill her and  her  husband s belief that archeoligical remains are buried under the barrows on the land that they purchase. The local museum refuses to waste time as the WW II approaches.

The lady hires an excavator w/ experience of a lifetime to start the dig. The digger uncovers a wooden ship < funereal display > and it pre - dates anything anyone expected. Actually, 6 th century. The oldest cultural find at that time.
W/ the wooden relic comes hope of significant artifacts buried as well. Now, the museum takes note and quickly everyone < meaning the British Museum in London > takes charge and credit. 
What comes out of Sutton Hoo changes the preceived history of the British Isles. A modern culture existed and thrived in England circa 600 AD. The gold is valued in the hundred of thousands but the craftsmanship of the items tells a story.

Great movie. 

The real value to the British people was the hope of a history of peoples of significance culturally, not French but of the land itself. The English always believed and maybe still do that they have been robbed of a past - a continuum, as it were - linking them to history - a history of England.


Well, all ship shape and Bristol fashion here < tee hee, get it >. The alarm seems to work. I tested the failing or failed battery and the 3 V battery put out 0.6 V on the voltmeter. Oh, did I say Lee Valley voltmeter et al < no, b/c I can't remember the origin > the device has been utterly reliable.

And I dropped the Monster remote bluetooth speaker from 2 Xmas ago. I had the thing repaired in 2019 and now it refuses to start up. Banged up real good, it is.
