		<description><![CDATA[	&#8211; as Ed would say. The weather is absolutely filthy &#8212; wind to a degree and extent that absolutely gets under your skin. The Farmer has had a thought. Is our mystery pipe leading off from somewhere in the sediment at the bottom of the tank? When climactic conditions are a bit less appalling he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Citizens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Our friend the acupuncturist came by today for a quick cram. She is proposing to sit the new Citizenship Exam, and had a book of 300 practice questions. Overall the exercise doesn&#8217;t strike me as wholly stupid, though I think about 80% of natives would fail, but quite a lot of the questions are things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water: Six Blind Men Examine an Elephant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Well, after a lot of righteous men becoming selfrighteous to an extent which was just a bit tiring, we seem to have some kind of an answer. Keith the Quondam Plumber (now working offshore), rung up by Current Plumber, who knows him, with the essential &#8216;faur&#8217;s the pipe?&#8217; said that he hadn&#8217;t plumbed us to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diplomacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	For the first time ever, the premises have been adorned by both the Tropical Godfather AND the Tropical Godmama. This was very nice, but  after a couple of days we awoke to a crisis; the total absence of water emerging from any tap on the first floor, where the bathrooms and lavatories are. At [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heresy and Abyssinian Cats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	It&#8217;s still August, it&#8217;s beastly cold, and most of the time, it&#8217;s raining. This has prompted some theological reflections. Dogs, roughly speaking, think of you as God, though in a somewhat medieval way (i.e. they retain hopeful notions that they can circumvent your obvious intentions by acts of primitive cunning, a state of mind abundantly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out to Lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	There are those who might say we have been out to lunch for quite some time. But since I got back from London, I have been in a white heat of unremitting, and peculiar, composition, putting together wee essays on &#8212; among other things, Euclid in the Renaissance, Printing in Calcutta, Tycho Brahe, fifteenth-century Milanese [...]]]></description>

		<title>Housekeeping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I came down to London with the brave computer, and became aware, having got here, that the letter &#8217;s&#8217; had got strangely sticky en route. Also, the easiest place to post myself for typing is with my back to the afternoon light, and I&#8217;m at a different angle to the machine. It became only too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ooops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	A bit fell off one of my molars yesterday. Not that I was trying to open a bottle with my teeth or chewing toffee or anything. It just sort of came off.  My dentist was able to find me an emergency appointment first thing, and thanks to the ever patient Dr Biswell, who drove [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	We&#8217;ve been away for a few days, staying in our friend the Edwardian Duchess&#8217;s gilded cage in Angus. It&#8217;s been very pleasant. Another old friend was there with his student son, and on the first day, our host, who is trying to finish a book, suggested we might contribute to the domestic economy by getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apologies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	As I suppose I might have realised, the Indian scamsters took advantage of the chance for a rummage to steal my address book: doubtless just about everyone who looks at this blog has by now received an invitation to buy dodgy Viagra. Sorry. Apart from that, we&#8217;ve had an interesting week. For a few days [...]]]></description>
