It depends whose side you're on, doesn't it?

I had no idea George Baker was known for a series of television mysteries. I always thought of him as Tiberius or the New Number Two. Ave atque vale.

I am spending most of today with my grandfather. Tonight after break-fast, for my erev birthday, my family is taking me to Twelfth Night.

They filmed the Ruth Rendell mysteries in my home town. Inspector Wexford's house had been the doctor's surgery when I was very little, and for a few years my father (who spent his sixties and seventies as a masseur and healer) was rubbing George Baker's oiled back on a regular basis. I do not believe, though, that he ever used a strigil.

I hope you've had a happy erev birthday. Glad you've been able to spend it with your grandfather--I never really knew either of mine, so I think there's something neat about such.

I hope you've enjoyed both break-fast and Twelfth Night!
