Launch of a river boat at Rhigos. Sketch by Mark Smylie. The bridge in the background, having the form of a Stasis Rune, was built by the dwarves during the centuries of Rhigos' wealth when the Manirian Road was in full flow.

A piece of WW2 anti-fascist folk art. My grandfather brought this back after serving in North Africa and the Levant. I assume it was made by one of his comrades from a bit of spare wood.

I've been studying the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) tests I did on Thursday. I am obviously very lucky as I only made one or two small errors. The tests are a disturbing, fascinating, and frightening insight into what a stroke can damage.

It is a mark of our time, when Disney and Star Wars become the guardians of truth. The monsters are here. They are massing under a cloak of patriotism here, and already in power elsewhere.

It's been a long weird week. This time last week I was wondering what was happening. Today: legs almost normal; left arm still heavy and hand stiff. Odd having a pain in the hand when there's nothing physically wrong with it. I feel a little 'odd' in myself. All things considered I've been lucky.

Esrolian village by Simon Bray. The village sits on a mound; the site has been occupied for at least a thousand years. It is protected by a ditch and thorn hedge, and the houses form a protective wall. This is a small village, with maybe 200 inhabitants who work the surrounding fields.

I realised that was the wrong title, so Mark has kindly reworked the lettering. It's not a story about the storyteller, but mostly consists of myths and legends he tells. Believe I have a good excuse for being befuddled this week.

As some of you know, I have had a medical adventure this week. I hope to create the booklet towards the end of the month but will have to carefully work out how many copies I can bring to Dragonmeet. Here is the finished cover by Mark Smylie.

Very tired, and oddly emotionally distanced. May be the tablets or the effects of this week. Typing is still difficult so I won't be writing long replies. My left leg is 95% there but my left arm is at 80% and my hand still feels as though it isn't mine, and I am very left handed.

An update: I'm home. About 80% functionality restored in my arm and leg - stroke deep in the brain. I've been lucky - no apparent speech, memory, or personality damage. I was the only one walking up and down the Ward corridor - exercise is a way of rewiring the brain to restore control of a limb.

The Husbands - by
@katrindirim.bsky.social
Some wonderful images to go with the enthroned goddesses or used separately. There's a slight intentional 'Egyptian' feel for these, given Greg's use of Pharoah for God-King in old material - thus the animal headed gods.
