"There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the Sun on the surfaces of the water."

May the good Lord forgive me, but I'm going with another Association Football sketch this morning, and this one's my absolute favourite.
It might not feature international Association Football, but Harry Enfield's gloriously glorious sketch involving a 1930's Arsenal team (featuring their captain, Charles "Charlie" Charles), taking on the 1991 Liverpool team - in black and white - is a thing of genuine comedic beauty.
Can you believe this is 35 years old!!
Good morning.
Rien d’autre que de l’ombre
De l’ombre où tu m’accompagnerais dans tes songes
Et là tu me dirais l’heure de la lumière

Perfect harmony
A delicate piano piece evocative of a moonlit scene twinned with William Ritschel’s glorious oil painting .
Now let’s drift and dream … ⚓️ 💤
