This demi-hemi-semi paradise

Of the one month and one week I've spent in the UK, this little sliver of a weekend I spent in London packed in more than all the rest of my time here. I realised, also, that I probably spoke much more in two days than I have in one month.

Included: All's Well That Ends Well at the Globe (we were groundlings!). China Miéville's Embassytown launch. The Tate Modern. Other book shopping. Friends. Baby talk. And suchlike, etc.

I consider the week seized.

    Just slightly off-kilter?

  4. "Other book shopping."

    Three words can hide so much. You did the Miro justice, I hope?

  5. km: I was wondering why no one had ventured any kilt jokes yet. It took you one month?

    cat: It's your fault I bought any. You didn't think I was going to provide a list as well?

    Miro, alas, has had to be postponed.

  6. It took you one month?

    I'm not skirting the question when I say my wit's been severely impaired this past month.
