'I do.'
'Which would you choose?'
'There is not a scrap of difference. Arcades ambo. They are the same species of curculio, and there is nothing to choose between them.'"

Rainy days call for board games!
Great to break out the brand new Oxford Monopoly with @blackwelloxford.bsky.social on the board. Imagine my delight with drawing the Community Chest card, where player has to give you a Blackwell's gift card.

Seasonally pertinent reading is going well with Andrew Miller's The Land in Winter, which I think might just be sensationally brilliant. Four people struggling through life in the Big Freeze at the end of 1962.
