Whirling away

I do love these full on spring days. Wildly blue and white skies, rising temperatures, insects humming and scents wafting; we expect to be rained back into winter tomorrow.
Excellent anniversary meal, a present from my mother-in-law; we wisely passed on dessert. Summer's coming, with fewer layers of clothing required.
Angela Carter's The Magic Toy Shop was a bizarre novel, full of evil fairytale references I was not quite getting, but ultimately satisfying due to her wonderful writing. Next up is a post apocalyptic one titled Heroes and Villains, published in 1969.

The weather did flip right back into winter. We turned the heat on Saturday, and took a sauna. What a surprise considering it was in the 80s just the other day.

Glad you had a lovely anniversary dinner. Congrats on 33 years.

Thank you, robin, for the good wishes. Saturday was a lousy day all round.

So, approximately same era, but I'm guessing no relationship to the Beach Boys' "Heroes and Villains?"

kathyr, no, but that old song ran through my head for a bit after I read the title.
Seriously, this woman kicked ass, writing wise.
