Riches!

My very own Cakadoodledo selection!  Thank you, our J.  Because without their delivery man, I might still be in bed.  Hideously overslept after several hours alert between 4-7am, trying to sort my brain/future out.  If you were here, now, Dr JS, I wouldn't be writing this, I'd be on the tube to UCLH.  Proper replies to manifold family e-mails on return.  Thanks, all.
Ever had one of those "I've got one upstairs" moments during Antiques Roadshow?  Got briefly excited by the prospect of making a mint from my New Whole Duty of Man (1730-something edition).  Google is a cruel but honest friend:  took all of 30 seconds to discover it on sale for $150.  Still, a small profit since purchasing about 25 years ago from 2nd hand bookshop in Finchley that sold books by the yard, with noose hanging from ceiling, "Shoplifters will be hung".  Couldn't afford CCTV, I suspect.
