Fortuitous book arrival

The Pinhoe Egg was waiting on my doorstep when I came home this evening. This was a Good Thing, as the last couple of days have been stressful and dismal, lowlighted by the most petty of nasty office politics and I need cheering up. I shan't go in to the office tomorrow, and am tempted not even to turn on the college email system over the weekend. I wouldn't at all, except that students whom I actually like (unlike certain colleagues) might be trying to get in touch with me.
