Alas, I do not keep abreast of most modern sf & fantasy. "Girl in the Fireplace" was an excellent Dr Who episode, though.

Good to hear from you, BTW - how are you?

I am well. Dancing a lot, birding occasionally, reading in between. The terribly stressful waiting around of Saturday last was made almost tolerable by rereading
Roots and Branches
. I'm also working my way through A Reader's Companion, though very little there is new to me.

You may be able to advise me: I'd like to purchase the "corrected" Lord of the Rings but Amazon is sometimes hard to interpret, and I don't want to get what I already own because I've been mislead by a squirrelly date. What do you suggest?

I am mostly keeping up with LJ, although I post elsewhere. My responses to your entries are often so different from your other friends' that I just don't! (I was interested in leap years schemes.*g*) I hope they figure out about your eyes and fix it!*hugs*

Agreement with my other friends isn't compulsory, you know :-) I'll dig out some more details on the leap years for you.

Thanks for your good wishes. They are getting there - it just seems a long, slow, painful process!

I'll come back to you later today on the LotR question.

*hugs*

Thank you! Choices, too.*g* I've long wanted a one-volume edition.

Also, given the number of links you post, http://tinyurl.com/ is a very useful website.

Thanks for that.
