Way out of the reach of the sea

[sovay]

Thank you for all the good wishes on the last post. Today has been profoundly mediocre, but I did spend an hour this afternoon in the bath reading Mary Stewart's Wildfire at Midnight (1956) and that was really pleasant. I couldn't remember the last time I took an actual bath as opposed to a shower or a soak in a hot tub. I'm still disappointed that it doesn't give me a mermaid's tail.
