Childhood favorite, Formative Te
I recall as a young boy being deeply confused by this story that I loved, for reading it made me both very sad and very happy at the same time.

Dorothy Dunnett Day -- By Zoom?
Dorothy Dunnett Day is the second Saturday in November.
Plenty of time to pick up a bottle of her favorite whisky, Highland Park, an Orkney distillation, to toast her memory.
I think the Society will have a Zoom meeting on November 13th.
(Contact me if you'd like details.)

Oxford in the Rain
Perfect reading for a rainy day -- and any day, for that matter.
Harriet Vane in Oxford.
Lord Peter Wimsey in the wings . . . .
I'm on page 211 and can't quite remember the plot, happily so.
Feline Dreaming
Early this morning, I dreamed that a guest had brought a furry little pet--a rat, a vole, a guinea pig?--to the house and was letting it run about on its own, despite the two resident cats. Of course, Lady spotted the beastie and began stalking, chasing, and striking it "playfully." I was intervening to save the creature and "spoil the fun" when I awoke to find Lady sleeping on my pillow, pressed against my thick hair, something she rarely rarely does with me.
Were we sharing a dream?
Was I dreaming her dream?
Was I spoiling her fun in her dream too?
