(That would be a combination of Zelda and not taking public transport, I suppose. Also, I read all my exciting Christmas books immediately, and now have Nothing To Read.)

Other things I've been doing include going and getting fitted for a suit, which was far less painful than trying to find a shirt....

I'm surprised you hadn't read Airs Above the Ground before. Did you enjoy it?

Mike's mother bought it for me, I think entirely on the basis of the title: none of us had heard of it before! It was quite fun, though. I may see if I can find anything else by her.

I'm very fond of her books. I think my favourites are The Ivy Tree (an homage to Brat Farrar) and Madam Will You Talk (in which our heroine is pursued round the tourist spots of Provence by a devastatingly sexy man who may be a murderer). But they're all good.
