Finished recording Canto VII (barring errors). Brief, some difficult passages, but honest, active, sharp, funny, exotic. Byron at his best.
Hmm…there’s a big sale on! Some nice bargains. Bought a few bio-med and quite a bit of LNG(!) before Chinese investors snap them up.

Oddity, known to Byron as “Polly-dolly”. Engaged as his physician on the voyage into exile; became an irritation. https://t.co/49WiAgLW7J
