desperanceThe UPS man didn't come till nearly four o'clock - or at least, he didn't stop at my door till then. He knew he had a package for me, I'm one of his regulars; but apparently his machine tells him where to go next, and how long he has to get there, and he has to scoot to make it. So he's been past my door twice with other people's packages, and not allowed to stop off to deliver mine. Is stupid, we think...
Still. Package. German books! Books in German! Daniel Fox's first translation!
Dan is chuffed. I am chuffed. Also, we think it looks rather lovely. (Also, it's fatter than we had expected; we had forgotten that texts in German come out about a third longer than English does.) Is big chunky book, and a bargain at either 9.95 Euros ([D], which I take to be Germany) or 10.30 Euros ([A], which I take to be Austria). (It took me a moment to work that out.)
And now I can leave the house, hurrah. Man is born free, and is everywhere in chains: but I vote, I vote! See how I vote!
