[Raak] A good friend of mine is in Paros right now. Did you see her?

[CdM] That is quite possible. How would I tell? In the next twenty minutes, before my ferry leaves.

After 10 months in the new house, we finally put up the first picture rail last night. Today, I'm going to unpack the prints, maps, photographs and paintings I have been collecting over the past 6+ years (some of them were secret purchases and I have spent a ruddy fortune on mounting and framing) in anticipation of having a nice house to hang them in, and the time has come!

[Raak] Well, I assume that she would have been wearing a locket containing a photograph of me, because I assume that is true of all of my female acquaintances.* You know, something along these lines.

(Actually, I suppose that should be more like 98% of my female acquaintances and 5% of my male acquaintances.)

I have just seen a gentleman wearing a tweed jacket and a deerstalker cycle past my house. Santorini and Paros were wonderful.
