The long dark tea-time of the soul

Wednesday.
Rest day. In pain so proof that I pushed it too far. 
I didn't do any exercise or biking. I went barefoot round the house which is what Jack said is best when my ankle is hurting. Apparently it rebalances the muscles and bones in the feet and that helps the ankle and knee recovery... 
So I sat at the desk and did some cards and pages in my dyalog. I had frequent breaks from that as it was bloody hot. 
In the late afternoon I started trawling around looking for a weekend break for us all for next year. I eventually found and booked something late evening. 
We also watched another couple of episodes of Sandman. 
Let's talk about Morpheus shall we. As a long time Neil Gaiman fan I can't put into words how the choice of actor was important. They've got this so right, his snow white tan, 80's Robert Smith haircut slight amorphous figure and rich voice is perfect and when I fell in love with the character how I imagined him. Those eyes, and yes they probably are contacts but they've made them look like frozen chips of silver. 
Death is pretty spot on apart from her skin colour ( I'm a goth not a racist) so for me her skin should have been the same snowy white, but the actress playing her is doing an excellent job of it... Death was the main reason for my obsession with Ankh necklaces. So yes, I'm loving it, and forcing myself to watch only 2 episodes at a time, and yes like Good Omens and Stardust will get rewatched.
