#follies — Public Fediverse posts

Musical Interlude: Today's my birthday, sixty-one, if you can believe it. I can't. I love this song, and relate to it well, the idea of surviving life's ups and downs and saying, well, I'm still here.

"I'm Still Here," performed by Yvonne de Carlo.

There's a Foundation, and before COVID they had it running as a nice wedding venue.
It was a folly, built above the Lord Haldon hotel when it was someone's house, by them or their adjacent. But it works.

I suspect one could still hire it for a polite party, if one asked.

The rather simpler Belvedere on the hill above Powderham Castle has recently been renovated, and I think is more or less in action. Good view from there.

Musical Interlude: OK, yesterday was my sixtieth birthday. I'm not sure I feel it, and wonder if I should...you know how that goes. But, anyway....I love this song, and I dedicate this to myself and anyone else kind of amazed that they're still around.

"I'm Still Here," performed live by Yvonne de Carlo.
