Dream of vaguely Edwardian setting except for Mother's friend Mrs. O'S in an emerald green 50s dress with patch pockets over the chest whose flaps stuck out at a 90 degree angle. Problem was actually who would inherit the throne of England, there being something wrong about George V. Possibly that his name wasn't in fact George.
A few days ago found some empty peanut shells near the stove's burners. Figured I might have dropped a few when decanting shell holder into bio garbage bag. Came home to day to find more peanut shells by burner, and hear something scritchying in the kitchen. Happened same time that NNDs returned home, could have been little M doing something in the hall, but peanuts suggest it's much more likely that mice have moved in for the winter. Have put trap by stove in case.
Apparently our warm September means no fall colours this year. A pity, but my gas bill thanks me.
Finished the four volumes the library has of Daemons of the Shadow Realm and immediately want vol.5, orderable from the mighty river. But after 5 I will want 6 which doesn't come out until November, and 7 in March. So am trying to possess soul in patience till then.

I never knew that warm autumns = fewer fall colours.

Mrs. O'S was a twittery type who would have made a terrible monarch. Monarchs should at least know their own minds.

It's worse in Japanese, I think, because then I'm tempted to buy the weekly or bimonthly magazines to get my fix, at ruinous cost. But translated is proving bad enough.
