I appear to have survived the weekend� Still have some gear to unpack, but that can happen at a slow pace all the rest of the day.

_A.R the Spoonful of Poison_was in transit" yesterday evening, but has safely coasted in and is ready for me to pick up today.� (Just got back from soccer, and didnapos;t� get out of bed until I had to, to make it to the field on time, so Iapos;ll have to run to the library in a bit.)

Itapos;s a beautiful autumn day, and the refrigerator is full of leftovers.�

Iapos;d say things are pretty good.

Havenapos;t finished the Georgiana book, yet.� Itapos;s very interesting, and gives quite a different view (so far) from that of the movie (The Duchess).�

Her Grace of Devonshire certainly had challenges, but seems much more empowered--and happy--in the book than in the movie.

I imagine that being fabulously rich (even if plagued by self-inflicted gambling debts) as well as the recognized leader of the ton, made up for some of the disappointments in her life.

One of the unexpected attractions in the book is the view of Whig politics, circa the American Revolution.� Itapos;s an engaging slice of things, not often considered on this side of the pond.

Itapos;s also amusing vis-a-vis my recent reading of _The Journal of Mrs. Arbuthnot_.� Arbuthnotapos;s time was just after Georgianaapos;s, but, as Harriet was a raving Tory, and G an ardent Whig, they present passionately contradictory arguments.

Additionally, as luck would have it, George III (a Whig-hating Tory supporter) has been on the throne--and opposing all Georgianaapos;s political efforts--so far in the book, whilst I know that the current Prince of Wales (who happened to be in Gapos;s thrall) will be on the throne, and giving the Toryapos;s a hard time, by the time of Harrietapos;s political journaling.
