We received a faint coating of slushy snow last night.
It will be gone by late morning.
The cleaning frenzy continues. Yesterday it was the bathroom and half of the interior of the refrigerator. When I’m on a roll, I’m on a roll. Today, I’ll finish the refrigerator. I also have to finish reading a play that I’m doing a couple of days work on and write tomorrow’s post, which will be a book review.
Yesterday’s mail included two packages – one from Paris, and one from London. I must say, I was tickled by that!
I left my red beret behind in the lobby of the hotel in Paris. I bought the beret here, not in Paris, and it’s my favorite hat. That cheery red makes me smile. I realized when we were at the airport that I’d left it behind when checking out. I called the hotel and yes, it was there. Hoping they would consent to send it to me, I offered to pay for postage and provided my address.
They sent it gratis, those dears.
Note the description: beret oublié à Paris. Beret forgotten in Paris.
Don thinks that would be a good book title.
So happy to have it back again!
And from London:
The Winter edition of the Foxed Quarterly, Slightly Foxed. I have yet to read the Fall edition, so I’d better get going!
And last week I received another envelope from London, containing John Sandoe’s Christmas Book Catalog. It makes for excellent reading!
If only I could magically transport myself to London and hop on over to Chelsea for a long afternoon in John Sandoe Books.
Ah, well. This is the next best thing.
Don’s in the city this morning. I’m going into the city on Friday for a couple of hours of coaching. The rehearsal space is just down the street from the Port Authority bus station, so I will be in and out of the city rather easily.
Happy Tuesday.
