Holiday reading

I brought this for erudition and some Peter May for relaxation, but the first is so compelling I haven't reached the novels till now. Today to Richmond to buy some shirts for the Professor who had unaccountably forgotten to pack any. The lovely man endured the 'support' of the rest of the gang plus several unknown Richmond women and finally purchased three fine shirts from Oxfam. Posting late . The rest if the house slumbers as I write, while the fullish moon rides high across a misty hayfield.
