I meant to blog a bit earlier, but things happened.
They were good things. However, they resulted in a slight derailment of
ordered life [ordered? are you sure?]. The worst of it is, from the point of
view of blogging is that I cannot, as yet, mention what the good things are.
But I will. Oh yes. When the time is right, I will blog about it.
What with that and the monster biography of Colette (and
very good it was as well), my reading has dropped. I tackled the biography
because I went back to the Claudine novels. And from there I’ll probably
revisit the rest of my Colette collection; maybe even fill in some of the gaps.
Future upheavals to look forward to this year include
various refurbishments by the Council.
Future events to look forward to include our 25th
wedding anniversary (later this month) and Barbara’s tieth
birthday.
And someone said we might get a summer this year, but I’m
not holding my breath.
