A Cold Sip of a Sorrowful Wine

Posting will be light for the next several days, due to Eventualities. The Tuesday Portrait will appear as usual, but in a cursory and alternative form. An imagined post on Juande Ramos’s skillful use of the fullback position is, for the moment, only a cause for speculation and grief.







Is the eventuality that you’re marrying your sixth wife ?
I savor your jest with the relish of a middle-panel Henry VIII.
Look forward to your return! In the meanwhile, I will shore up my courage to go read the Collinsesque guestblogging of Dr Marchpane you have hosted so kindly on this blog, something I have been unable to do in the last few days thanks to having had the vapours from just getting over Collins’ “Basil.”
Hoping the eventualities are good ones, or failing that that they’re over quickly and painlessly. Come back to us soon, we miss you.
I trust that the Eventualities are pleasurable, or productive, or brief, depending on their nature.
Thanks for the good wishes, all. Erinti and Spangly…well, I was going to make up a story about my house being infested by mimes, but really, the Eventualities are all good ones, except for my poor blog.
Roswitha, I hope you’re well over “Basil” (is it good?) and fortifying yourself for a plunge into “Mr. Wray’s Cash-Box” or “A Terribly Strange Bed.”
