Flowers in the Window

Went all Mrs. Dalloway this morning and decided to buy the flowers myself. The price of flowers has gone up at bit since either Mrs. Dalloway or I last bought them, so I only got a small bunch but I was desperate for them, a proper party. We had a wonderful brunch time gathering, with piles of food and good conversation, tea, coffee and, of course indispensibly, flowers. Our house is now officially warmed.

A publisher writes of first novel submissions, “as I waded on through… I wanted to engrave one sentence on all their hearts – read more, write less”. India Knight celebrated marriage, and uses the word “tofu” which stands for “totally fucked”.
