Tina and Papagus...

[fajrdrako]

Oh what a lovely evening. After dinner at the Papagus Greek Taverna, Beulah and I walked with Tina back to her hotel - and how lovely it was, to walk in comfortably cool air for a change.

Dinner was quite magnificent. I had cheese flambee, calamari, and roast lamb. Picture me with a blissful smile. Conversation was diverse and pleasant: the Dunnett fans present were Tina (from Toronto), me, Beulah, Gemma, and Alayne - and representing the Dorothy Dunnett Non-Readers Association, Alayne's husband Brett.

At work today, the computer was down most of the day - but that actually didn't affect me much; I went again with the kids from the Summer Drama Camp to the National Gallery. I enjoy the trip every time. No funny comments about the American Embassy this time, but I did catch snatches of talk about Spider-Man again, which always delights me. (Again, from the boys, not the girls.)

Sounds delicious. But - no creme brulee?

No creme brulee! They didn't have it on the menu - can you imagine? I was devastated, and had a cup of coffee instead.

I had a fellow Dunnett fan over to stay this weekend. We talked about it for faaaar too long. It's amazing how books bring you together.

Yes, isn't it fun when you meet up with one of those people who know and love the books - and who understand them? It's a rare and wonderful experience.
