Saturday hospital call

 PT on the phone 10:12 am .  Slight stroke?  Details later.  She had a scare, in her voice.  

Cliff showed up on facebook the other day with a short clip of his walk-through part in Celine Song's great movie Materialists.  That got him an hbo invite to the season wrap party for Gilded Age at the Plaza---Cliff's old stomping grounds for when he was a sommelier there. 

Still seems some strange thing---three of my friends were in Skopje at the same time, same few months.  Although I've never pinned down whether they all three had tea together.  Cliff Rames, Nicholas Colloff, Dick Mertens.  New Jersey, UK, and Wisconsin/Chicago.  

Gray morning, heavy.  No snow but maybe some tomorrow.  Cold.  People running by the street window while we had breakfast.

Sunday late afternoon  Going to put Melancholy II aside for now.  Start the Septology and stay with Handke.  Do I need to order another book of his?  In Left Handed Woman.  Moment of True Feeling ready for next.  

PT's news next day was all is ok.  Monday now.  Judith and Jim here to clean.  She seems a bit shakier, don't know if there is any health issue he is helping her with.  My guess.  Colder today but sun out so far.

We were deep into two series the past few days.  Royal Doctors Flying Service from Australia and Murder in a Small Town set in Gibsons BC.  Star of that show is a younger son of Donald Sutherland.  Very sensitive actor.  Co-star who plays Cassandra a great match.  The Australian team is a different hospital show, flying male nurses and a British doctor all over a vast region around Adelaide.  Where is that?  Is that on the southern rim?  Yes where the other big cities are.  

Ok in Handke's book, Left-Handed---I did not expect this!  "'Do you know what she says you are?  A private mystic.  She's right.  You are a mystic.  Damn it, you're sick.  I told Franziska a bit of electroshock would straighten you out.'"  Bruno tells her this, after just having tried to hit her.  Electroshock bit of a meme on here of late.  Thought I would put Fosse down for a rest but here Handke is stepping in to fill out the void.  Maybe need to pick up Melancholy II after all.
