How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Debates, Manifestos, and General Certificates

So the examination council report is in, and plans for NSCC on hold.  Just as well, given the additional hurdles and hoops of that route.  Shame the registration fee has jumped, but it still might be the best way in.  First transfer of USD has been sent, surely another to follow, and the plan in place to apply from Zambia.

Ticking over into October with some gorgeous final few sailing voyages, into the Presidential debate and another day closer to the (hopeful) ouster of Trump.  Fun night of catching up on Purcells Cove Road, definitely starting to feel the years.  The Post-Office a prime spot for the debate watching and another spot that exudes memories of drunken revels past.

Speaking of which, having faced down the exhaustion of the evening and the cloudy morning of Envigour, APEC, and POD calls, it feels time to ring in the changes in advance of another African departure.  The pandemic living has spiralled downhill since the loss of the wallet, and there’s a need to get back on track in a hard way.  Hence a new Manifesto, clean and dry living through the month of October.  Can it be done?  Let’s aim to celebrate with a drink in Peggys Cove on Halloween night.  As things come together.
