Früher galten die Doldrums für Seefahrer als Todeszone. Wo sich Flauten und Gewitterstürme abwechseln, werden heute Regatten entschieden. Schwermut breitete sich einst unter der erbarmungslosen Sonne und der drückenden Schwüle aus. Daher auch der Name: „Doldrum“ bedeutet so etwas wie Trägheit oder dumpfe Stimmung.

Stuck in the doldrums? This may be why
After being indoors, planning, thinking, waiting, anticipating, the delight of April, the sunlight, & the lure of nature bursting forth call to us. We, too, must answer. Like every flower awaiting rain, now is our moment to burst forth.

this is LOVELY🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 just the inspiration I was apparently looking for to get me out of the #doldrums of #procrastination
The doldrums hold tight
To those without direction
Purgatory sucks.
#Sailing across the equator, the #doldrums always make for some spectacular manoeuvres. This #TheOceanRace Show is pretty impressive: https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=x_ty6Zw9HMs
I just googled Axl Rose because I couldn't remember if his name was spelled Axel or Axl. Anyway, I saw a "WTF" type video essay on the name, comparing him from the 80s to a fairly recent photo. I often wonder if people who make these #YouTube videos understand that they will one day grow old too, if they're lucky. #Doldrums #GunsNRoses #Aging
Ay, marry, now my soul hath elbow-room;
It would not out at windows nor at doors.
There is so hot a summer in my bosom,
That all my bowels crumble up to dust:
I am a scribbled form, drawn with a pen
Upon a parchment, and against this fire
Do I shrink up.

Been rather uninspired lately. My friend invited me to attend a #WritingGroup with him at the #PublicLibrary - aka, my old job - but the idea of sitting there trying to gather inspiration just - pos, no mas no.
Even at the moment, as I write this, I'm only doing it to ignore my #Canva design for José Cantú. Ugh. Maybe I'll go and mingle with the #Writers. Better still, maybe I'll take a nap instead. #LibraryLife #SpecialCollections #Doldrums

"This year, I've been #Cultivating #Weeds #Indoors to ease those #Winter #Doldrums.
I've got #Chicory, #Dandelion, & #Poke #Potted in #Buckets in a #Kitchen #Corner.
I've got #Watercress stretching out of a #Pot standing in #Freshwater.
I've got #Chickweed going to #Seed - three months early - on the #Windowsill.

A most remarkable half hour - sail from Hamburg around Cape Horn in the worst of all weathers, in 1920. Narrated by your cameraman, often filming from aloft.

(Saw a shorter version of this below decks on the Glennlee tall ship at Glasgow's excellent Riverside Museum.)
