Since Halloween recently I have felt rather miserable in my body - stiff muscles etc.

Indira Gandhi was shot (by 'Satwant Singh') forty years ago - on Halloween 1984. Why on Halloween?

The night to 30 october 2024 showed massive flooding of Valencia in Spain. 'Sjø' is norwegian for 'sea', ocean', hence a certain 'sjø-night der welt' could be observed in the photos after the floodings. (Source).

SC III:6. Is it possible to generate such storms?

The name 'Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi' seems to suggest 1) (the name of) 'goddess Lakshmi' (Lakshmi described here) 2) 'looking with kindness upon everything', and 3) 'offers/provides perfume'. Would it mean 'Götterfrucht'?

There are other aspects of the name of 'Gandhi', such as 'tree trunk between root and branches' or 'fox' - although these seem to be spelling/articulatory variants.

My younger sister knitted ('strikka') a jumper for me in the late 1970's (if not early 1980's). It was brown with white spots.
