A glimpse of summer and fears of infection (Rousse)
ET-S and I couldn’t believe our luck when we wandered down to the shore and discovered soft golden sand, gentle waves, and water the temperature of a warm bath. I dived straight in still wearing my clothes before everything returned … Continue reading
Rousse rejects a lover and kills a cat
The arrangements for our holiday were hardly ideal. I hadn’t managed to finish my conference paper in time so was obliged to take a stack of work with me, and when we arrived in Antigua we found that we’d been … Continue reading
Rousse’s new best friend is Princess Diana
Princess Diana (my new best friend) and I lounged side-by-side for our girly chat. She permitted me to ask her anything I liked so long as the conversation didn’t descend into tabloid interview. I thought that I was doing OK … Continue reading

Rousse searches underground Theseus-style
I ran along Market Street past grand Georgian houses in pursuit of VE. When she ducked into Oxford Circus tube station I lost sight of her. As I pondered what to do next, an old man and a blind woman … Continue reading
