Irish musicians Clannad composed the unforgettable music to TV series Robin of Sherwood 40 years ago. At the time they released album Legend, containing some of the music. But there were more tracks, lost for many years. This year they are rereleasing Legend, adding 11 unreleased extra tracks. It is available to buy on double CD or double Vinyl album. I have just preordered us the double CD. And will aim to buy it digitally on iTunes too.

This week's oracle cards spread
Aug. 29th, 2024 04:09 pmAnother 3-card past/present/future spread, using the Urban Crow oracle deck. And musings on how these might relate to my current circumstances.
Gifts / Commitment / Play. Generally the guidebook for the cards suggests viewing them non literally, more symbolic/metaphorically. But in this case I'm just going to go for the literal approach.
It's my birthday imminently, and I've already started getting some treats. Today I got an almost birthday present for self, that I would have asked for as a present, but it was selling out so quickly on a limited print run, so I ordered it anyway. It's a book about Commodore 64 SID music composer Rob Hubbard, famed for legendary 1980s British computer music such as "Monty on the Run". There are still some copies left to buy, but it is selling well, and won't be reprinted.
Looking simply at the Commitment card I'm reminded of our upcoming 30th wedding anniversary. I have been extremely lucky with my choice of husband, and despite my ill health it's been a happy 30 years together. It hardly seems any time, certainly not that long! To be fair I still feel 21! But we will be remembering the day 30 years ago in September when we eloped, aged 22 and 23.
And Play, well I need to still make an effort to have fun. I am severely disabled from my progressive neurological disease, and largely bedbound now. Happy working on academic research projects and journal papers. But I need to have fun too. That's important.
