Well, autumn has set in at last so it's back to the closet with summer things and roll on the shoe-buying spree. I tried to start a shoe thread but quite unaccountably, noone was interested, apart from Polly, who is not interested in shoes (how can that be?). And now I see it is more foreign travel for her...
We have a two-week holiday now looming and I have been kept busy all morning trying to organise the work I'll take to the country with me, thus spoiling the joy of using the new rotovator in the jungle.
Also had to check the corrections for the pocketbook edition of Port Mungo. Alwasy a sobering experience, alas, to discover you've used "encore" twice in the same sentence and DIDN'T SPOT it at the time.
The only consolation is that I insisted on leaving in New York's SoHo, instead of using Soho for both New York's and London's.
Thursday is cleaning lady day; we usually have a cosy chat over coffee and biscuits but she's fasting (Ramadan) so it's just the gossip and a few giggles.
Back to work. I miss the old boards.
I thought I would say that.

Welcome back Martine! Hootoo has regained a (temporarily) lost dimension with your return.
Have you completed your McCall Smith labours?
