brief Saturday miscellany
Words I've taught the word processor today: 'gobbed', 'minging'.
Incompatible books I'm reading this weekend:
The Inheritance of Loss
;
How Late It Was, How Late
.
Hours we've been waiting for the boiler man to restore our heating and water:
ten
eleven
eleven-and-a-half (and counting). Rage-o-meter indicator quivering at the peak of the scale.
