After a little bit of detective work, I have learned the identity of my secret admirer. (No, it wasn't Bobby Brady.) It is my friend Alecia, who was spreading some "first week of spring" joy. She knows me so well: a British bookmark is pretty much a great gift for me. (Hell, most things "British" are a good gift for me, but British + books = LOVE.) I popped that right into my copy of Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders, which is my new lunchtime reading at work. (My previous book was Annie Proulx's The Shipping News, which I thoroughly enjoyed.) It is a fitting lunchtime read as a former work colleague was the person who introduced me to Neil Gaiman's work when he passed along to me his copy of Neverwhere. Thanks again, Alecia!

Of course, I've seen the Keep
ReplyDeleteCalm and Carry On. Thought it suited me. But I have not seen Keep Calm and Put the Kettle On, which REALLY suits me! (Would prefer it on a buttery yellow background.) I come from a long line of women putting the kettle on (in northern England).
