Oh, it's lovely to hear from you and the ivy.

You have my deepest sympathy over the taxes. I too hate business paperwork and business calls. I hope everything needful gets done and handed in with the least possible grief. I hope it spurs you!

Thank you for reminding me to read The Glass Magician. I am lightyears behind on new fiction.

Hurrah for boosters!

May the tulips come up.
