Escapism

Grateful thanks to my transatlantic magazine sending heroes.  An uplifting escapist couple of hours yesterday.  Quite forgot myself.

Never quite made it to Saturday night's event;  hope I'll be forgiven.  Felt all the better for hunkering down with Jane Austen.  Though I shan't be recommending Emma Tennant's 'The Autobiography of the Queen', even lighter weight than I had imagined.  And the parkin was an outright disaster, even after leaving a week to mature.  Go directly to the bin, do not pass go.

Today I have a candle lit for my mum.  21 years ago.  A different age.  Feels like a parallel universe.

Off to Nursey one more time.  Getting there, getting there.
