Ah, well

Today's mail included a polite "no, thank you" from the person at Wiley who interviewed me a couple of weeks back. I hadn't had high hopes left, but it's still a disappointment.

Fortunately, I had a fine afternoon at the Central Park Zoo with Barb (WINOLJ), who called us this morning to suggest an outing, treadpath, and cattitude. We didn't see the red pandas, but there were lots of big turtles, and the penguins were fine and clever and extremely well air conditioned.

Then I went to the gym to lift weights, while they went off for a drink and further socializing.

Weird weather forecast

The forecast for Montreal has a high of 34 (all temperatures in °C) and a low of 13. By Sunday it's high 15, overnight low ten. Forget the shorts, take a light jacket. Well, I was tired of sweating.

book ID: alternate wars of the roses

The book I posted about a couple of days ago is The Court of the Midnight King by Freda Warrington.

It's good, although having finished it I feel that the title is evocative, but not of anything in the novel. (I can think of things that might be stretched to justify it, but without spoilers, I'll just note that much of the important action takes place in no king's court, and that no character is ever referred to in the text as the "midnight king".)
