desperanceIf I ever write the story of the War of Mars' Moons (the Russian and British empires, since you ask, at each other's throats in a rather nastier edition of the Great Game: this is Steampunk!Mars' equivalent of the First World War, because that didn't happen. It was in consequence of the great Retreat from Deimos that Colonel Lord Anthony Berkeley acquired his reputation, submitted his resignation and is left with severe PTSD, all of which is being obliquely alluded to in Broken Symmetry), I am totally going to call it "Setebos, Setebos, and Setebos!", I am just sayin'.
In other and more practical news, Karen is exhibiting virtue and working on our taxes. She has flowers, from yesterday's party; Mac has sampled his way around the entire vaseful, because fudz, but it was Barry who threw up under the kitchen table.
K has consented to eat leftover chilli and rice tonight, because I like it. Greater love hath no woman, ect ect: in honour of which, I have written a letter to my mother-in-law. Before you ask, no: this is not much like Harriet writing to the Duchess.
And now I am going to sip leftover wine and read a hand-me-down book, and let the rest of Sunday slip by with almost no purpose at all. Because we had a party yesterday, and because I can. I have acquired merit enough; I washed all the wine glasses, and didn't break a one.
