Friday, December 19th, 2025 08:26 pmSND drops a card and a package of almond chocolates in my mailbox, so now I know how to spell her fiancé's name. Which turns out to be Arabic and thus makes problematic the bottle of wine I was going to give her for Christmas, once the steps became clear again. Of course I have no idea if he's even muslim or practising if he is, and she did give me wine when she first moved in. Oh well. Presumably she can take it to parties.
More gusty winds blew in rain and cold, putting an end to our false November, so I stayed indoors and finished Maskerade. Which is an end to my reread of the Witches arc unless I start on the Tiffany series. But Tiffany, for all she's hyped as YA reading, is much darker than the Witches IMO. The witches are a genial, largely comic, read, while Tiffany is anything but. Still militant decency but much more real world, just like the later Watch books.
I suppose I could have another bash at Raising Steam but hell. I want old women and there aren't many of those around.
Oh, and G, your parcel arrived safely and is waiting for Christmas to be opened. Just so you know.
