      I initially heard it as "Fisk", and was wondering why there was a town with a name that translates to "Fish". But the Vikings did have a habit of leaving Britain with some whacky names.

    this is actually really soothing. Reminds me of riding a nearly empty train back home in summer. The suns setting, and you’ve just come back from having a fun day out with friends in central. you’ve got nothing to do tomorrow so you feel all warm and fuzzy as you drift in and out of sleep. Then, the train announcement goes off as you stir and realise your stop is next. You walk back home while evening sets in and the streetlights turn on. Coming home, you make yourself a nice cup of tea, and then go to bed, cradled in the embrace of warm memories.
