The weather has warmed up nicely to the point where it's now probably about the equivalent of a moderate English summer. Just pleasant, in other words. And I've even managed to get my writing head back on. In a small way so far, but it's definitely a step in the right (write) direction :))Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-4013788217802859872015-01-13T12:11:34.984-05:002015-01-13T12:11:34.984-05:00That is spectacularly bad timing on my part, Annam...That is spectacularly bad timing on my part, Annamaria, but all the more excuse to return later in the year ....?Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-85740978824853595342015-01-13T12:09:14.207-05:002015-01-13T12:09:14.207-05:00Thank you, Jeff.

And how apt to recall comic strips and cartoons at this particular time.Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-2149799815918369812015-01-11T09:02:59.644-05:002015-01-11T09:02:59.644-05:00What a charming way to spend a holiday -- Tuscany ...What a charming way to spend a holiday -- Tuscany <i>and</i> a cat. Sounds perfect.<br /><br />Your word of the week, <i>feuilleton</i>, brought back childhood memories of the Netherlands back in the early 1950s. We subscribed, probably just as an informal arrangement between neighbours, to a folder of selected magazines that would pass from one household to the next, thus spreading out the cost. This folder was also called a feuilleton. I always looked forward to that week's feuilleton because one of the magazines was one that consisted entirely of serialized bandes dessinées (comic strips).JJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404985455733545060noreply@blogger.com
