The new episode, that is. The Decemberists are great - lots of stories in their songs.

That would be a joy!

The Decemberists ‘The Mariners Revenge’ is set inside a whale (‘It’s ribs are ceiling beams, it’s guts are carpeting’) - it’s about two sailors, and one of them has a score to settle.

Aw now I’m distracted by pirate themed tea-shop names. The Jolly (Jammy) Dodger, Shiver mi Tiramisu.

By ‘My cat’ are you referring to the cat formerly known as ‘Not my cat’?

You see - I struggle with ‘long sleeved tee shirt’. If it has long sleeves, how is it a tee shirt? (Or is it t-shirt?). I’d be inclined to call it a jersey, or a generic ‘top’. With you on short sleeved jumpers though - just complete cognitive dissonance in a garment.
