June 2013

A brief update to note that we met on the final day of June, only a fortnight after Bloomsday. Your correspondent has finally learned the words to Love's Old Sweet Song which is really a sweet and sentimental tune, isn't it?

At the twilight of June we gathered, with blueberry cake to start with and osso bucco to finish. The rich stew as our goal, we murmured our way through the final, delightful pages of II,1. The pantomime is over, it's back to school for the twins and little sister. 

The following chapter (Night Lessons, II, 2) is that daunting, we are planning to reread close of chapter II, 1 just for fun next time at end of July.

On site for this meeting were all relevant parties up to and including Hosty, this Mitzy, Signor Googlielmo, Tahini G and Michael Arklow. The Northern Fairlights remained Northern due to impassable storms on the harbour. We ate their share of stew.
