My parents are arriving tomorrow to whisk me off to Canada until the end of the month, and Sunday Peter is being whisked as far as Chicago by the combined efforts of public transport and United Airlines, there to be stranded by weather and airline perfidy probably at least until boxing day.

In the meantime, I need to plan how I’ll spend my day. There was a huge [...]
