Finished Maurice and I’d forgotten how much I love it! 🥰 But not more than I could still quote passages from decades ago, when I read it last.
And I remembered a neighbour of EM Forster once told me a story about him (I was studying his blue plaque) - quite the character! 😃🥰

Had 12 friends over last night; son and hubby cooked for us. Had to throw the last ones out at 1 AM😅
Now it’s 9 PM, and I’m wondering if it’s too early to go to bed 🙊

Finished the book assignment, so now I’m ready 😇 (and also wondering what Ed will think of this… but perhaps sailing through life without noticing it, only to end up with love, has something to do with it?
I doubt it’s the elephant 😅)

Done and dusted! Great read, I’ve been on the edge of my seat all day (especially at work, when I •couldn’t• read!!) - but this was brilliant. The cosy and the crime balanced just right!
Already can’t wait for the next… 😩😅
You should read it too! @gbralph.com agrees 😁

Playing scrabble with my friend, I had to complain that I had all vowels!
She laughed and sent me back she has only consonants 😅 (Maybe Crowley could have made something out of it!?)

I had an email at work (for some reason in my spam filter 🤷)
I know it was legit because it said “dear email user” and I do have email!! And they (who?) said they were excited to tell me I had won $29,500,000!! 🥳
So now I’m just sitting here waiting to swim in cash 😇

Was finally able to order the paperback - I just wish it didn’t have to be Amaz#n… Blackwell’s will carry it eventually, of course, but it takes too long before it does and I’m impatient 😩
