Well, the extremely draining meeting has gone well. The eight hired computers which we had to set up each morning and put back in the other room each evening because the diet group that meets in the conference room couldn't be expected to diet properly at a table covered with computers are wiped and put back in their not-very-solid boxes. The early mornings and long and bibulous dinners (Sidney Sussex; La Margherita; Efes) have left my eyes less open than one might in the end desire.

If you order lots of not-yet-published books from Amazon with free delivery, Amazon sternly claims they will ship the order only when everything's in stock, but actually trickle the books out to you in ones and twos; so I has a Red Seas Under Red Skies ! And a Brasyl! The Demon and the City is apparently in the post.
