  •  Yesterday, when I came into the house in the evening, I gathered a nosegay of old roses:  Mme. Isaac Pereire, a China I can't remember, and Devoniensis (a.k.a. "Tradd Street Yellow").   I could have added Vineyard Song and Chrysler Imperial, had I chosen.  The kitchen smells beautifully rosy.
  • My laptop ate its hard drive  yesterday and I am going through withdrawal.  My cellphone is great for mail and the Guardian, but terrible for DW and Tumblr and general Web-noodling.
  • Last night the NYTimes app sent me an alert about the Final Four.  This morning the Guardian app sent me an alert about a school stabbing in Pennsylvania.  The Guardian's breaking-news coverage of this story is, as usual, far, far better than the NYT breaking-news coverage.
  • I am mainlining "The Thick Of It".   This has (A) given me a whole new perspective on ministerial shuffles (B) made my internal dialogue far, far more sweary (C) cemented my crush on Peter Capaldi.   Not Malcolm Tucker, mind; I'm not insane.  I am now engrossed in the fannish debates on why the hell Malcolm often wears a wedding ring (n.b. because Capaldi didn't always take his own off) and who the child peeking out of his house in S3 was.
  • Am making steady progress on two 1910s dresses for daughter and self, to be worn to a GBACG ice cream social Saturday.  Definitely in adrenaline mode, but not yet panic mode. 
  • Said to husband, "I'm going out Thursday evening."  Husband:  "He's a lucky guy."  (Off to a movie with [personal profile] movingfinger , actually.)
