Lament

Went up to the allotment and managed a bit of work, despite the rain (and it was frigging cold as well!), then D went off to shop for his supplies. Then we tackled the decaying grout/sealant in the bathroom task, eventually accomplished, mostly by DaveH. Ate at P. Express for a small treat and went to bed quite early.

Rather than dripping leaves in the rain I give you “Lament”, a broadside ballad composed by Steve Byrne about six years ago - I had dug it out of the archives for someone else, but enjoyed re-reading it. The tune of “The Wee Magic Stane” is also used for “The Molecatcher”, “Sweet Betsy from Pike” and probably many more, should you feel moved to sing it.

P.S. more info about the song here: https://logicsrock.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-blue-blanket-flies-again.html
