Resplendid Bedamned

What a wonderful weekend, a sprained back has ahd tiem to heal. There has been much sun, much walking undersuch and much reading. I finished the Catton yesterday morning. The evening afforded splendid dining at Sheba with friends and the evening melted to a quiet close. this day has seen a leisurely readingof the Times and Hitchens' review of a bio of Malraux. More sun was featured on the menu and further walking. I have decided to read Inez by Fuentes today as I can manage it in a single day. It is a piece of rather baroque writing, with a central experimental twist or spiral, but i am enjoying it, though for the past few hours I have been relegated to timeouts and halftimes.
