The museum includes portraits of the authors, artwork based on their literature, or artwork by the authors themselves. Some personal objects including jewelry are also on display.

Usually that is only my portion on weekends, since I am privileged with a weekday job. Saturdays I tend to go to Cafe CoCo, a well established hang out for Oxford alternative weirdos like myself. </p><p>They used to provide free newspapers - now I have to buy my own paper, and leave it behind for other, less well-heeled, customers when I am finished. The Tory Austerity and COVID lock-down have a lot to answer for!</p><p>Anyway, I went again this morning. I am still a bit weak after my recent illness, but one must venture out at some stage. Besides I had to pick up my boots from the cobbler before he decided to discard them.</p><p>I also swung by the Saturday market in search of some organic milk, but the milk people didn't show up - again. Irritating. Went to the supermarket instead.</p><p>Anyway, the weather was quite nice, so I managed to get some decent photos!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEA1MjrPY0zdA0l8kQEVu95nzPlQE3LtpkuyE3TYKmk_Is559dAHeoIj7RqUfzi9Wxg3FSdo581ySUIrA7RBi0MVxMVxCAmwQVxAw5slpeNrkjGISmnGBaCCdSNfgpjPTiny4ofMnGN6rhn7oNGk1vG4p2BUGO0qfkvGyZdDqXKbHi8rKSms25Tn5U_g/s1600/DSCN0116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEA1MjrPY0zdA0l8kQEVu95nzPlQE3LtpkuyE3TYKmk_Is559dAHeoIj7RqUfzi9Wxg3FSdo581ySUIrA7RBi0MVxMVxCAmwQVxAw5slpeNrkjGISmnGBaCCdSNfgpjPTiny4ofMnGN6rhn7oNGk1vG4p2BUGO0qfkvGyZdDqXKbHi8rKSms25Tn5U_g/s320/DSCN0116.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Just around the corner from CoCo's is a 17th century coaching Inn, that is still in use.

text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;">Quite a difference from the experience I had after Diana died, when there were many black framed photos of her in the windows of private residences. I haven't seen any of those this time around.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately all the signs are behind glass, which does not photograph well. Often there is an image of Oxford scenery mirrored in the photos. Still, it adds an additional angle - evidence that these were taken in Oxford, and not in London or some other town.</p></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It isn't very old - it was built in 1828, after the old church of St Clements was demolished and replaced by The Plains (see earlier blog post). It is Church of England, and I occasionally go there, but usually I stick to the college chapels and university church, so I am rarely inside.<p></p><p>However, I am quite often outside, frolicking in the cemetery and generally enjoying myself. I have always been fond of cemeteries, and as it is close by it is a good place for a quick wander around.</p><p>It was very cold outside, so I only walked for around five miles before retreating to the warmth of the hearth. What with all those Spring flowers you would think it would get a little warmer soon!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAK84XSwdKzlksxhzl0-XAexbbYUvmX6g9yAFWwHUaTCdvRnZeGXmjf5g9UvshRN1EGqD2snkOXUaw5-715MAc_0GqS4t4np_6KqkiDNowOirB1ai9C9aekXSK1ImUDJueSuCZvLThFCBd/s1600/DSCN0120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It is about 15 minutes walk from my house, and I go there frequently, especially since Paul's Bakery opened opposite! Today I met my friend Anne there. We had planned to go for a walk in Christ Church Meadow which is further down the road, but it was so overcast and gloomy we feared rain might surprise us in the meadow, where there is little cover, so we meandered around town for a while instead. I think this is quite a nice part of Oxford, and there were fewer tourists than usual on a Saturday morning, so I snapped these photos.<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd74bTusRsCIiXIX-kI4JtcQIpMcd_s4VJ5lBovdRhZeIVfcL-HU-ZFO6jwulRU7PJ3lTYrmhaQGEJ7_KHdtaMml_jIMonNv9Ck5F5w0KoHQaKllv97dJgJAUoOG_5ksIQzNAb7dLkzafx/s1600/DSCN0108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd74bTusRsCIiXIX-kI4JtcQIpMcd_s4VJ5lBovdRhZeIVfcL-HU-ZFO6jwulRU7PJ3lTYrmhaQGEJ7_KHdtaMml_jIMonNv9Ck5F5w0KoHQaKllv97dJgJAUoOG_5ksIQzNAb7dLkzafx/s320/DSCN0108.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Walking towards Carfax from the outskirts of town - in the distance is the tower of the university church</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDMypUZctb4RJn88JUwftVC_nbCtAout72oZkRw9N6s8q5ykGnjYUlVVsyYmECgHTz7hr5XJoZOlVoddHFZYWkYftKXA7qIl1MjCaCln7EKEdAZfAZmI-aXa_gKZOyG5OROn56PoHFGZl/s1600/DSCN0109.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDMypUZctb4RJn88JUwftVC_nbCtAout72oZkRw9N6s8q5ykGnjYUlVVsyYmECgHTz7hr5XJoZOlVoddHFZYWkYftKXA7qIl1MjCaCln7EKEdAZfAZmI-aXa_gKZOyG5OROn56PoHFGZl/s320/DSCN0109.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Opposite the tower, closer by</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisoO3hmKyDrn5skSK8vPhLLzleu4Nzkwkq5qa8GSCx_vBWSamKQZDaWXl7Ys9-l82S6cB7k5A7N2pd7FnQpfSTS_vehWcC1WWyaBghJAyWtPpWYdsaQQBPRaQYIjdwXaYvbCrEzR-BHS5h/s1600/DSCN0110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisoO3hmKyDrn5skSK8vPhLLzleu4Nzkwkq5qa8GSCx_vBWSamKQZDaWXl7Ys9-l82S6cB7k5A7N2pd7FnQpfSTS_vehWcC1WWyaBghJAyWtPpWYdsaQQBPRaQYIjdwXaYvbCrEzR-BHS5h/s320/DSCN0110.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Next to the tower - there used to be a shop selling homemade soaps and lotion, now sadly defunct</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfss5RxouCxJl1gz2nefD7sYMlaCdYvhtaJBd6718whLX8hGXsmdY14wSSwcil9ufjaZAKS_c8UYtz01REQRgcK4Q5pkUHeNTf0TxrC4oNd31gm_aEFf9rpm5ddux8Kq78NZ1ImatR-ucd/s1600/DSCN0111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfss5RxouCxJl1gz2nefD7sYMlaCdYvhtaJBd6718whLX8hGXsmdY14wSSwcil9ufjaZAKS_c8UYtz01REQRgcK4Q5pkUHeNTf0TxrC4oNd31gm_aEFf9rpm5ddux8Kq78NZ1ImatR-ucd/s320/DSCN0111.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Opposite the tower under an arch.

Well, I have been busy. And since I also had to recover from various viral diseases and their debilitating side effects, blogging was low on the agenda. I continue to do stuff - I just don't have the energy to write about it afterwards.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, I have just had a week off work, because I had to fix the fence. Well, rebuild a large section of it. Not as nice as spending the holiday in La Bourboule, but equally necessary.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In my experience, it is easier to completely rip something out and then rebuild it, than to repair what is there. Of course, I did the latter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As mentioned in the last post, I had spent a considerable amount of time and energy cutting down the hedge. That had to be done, so I could repair the fence that was pretty much obstructed by the hedge. After I had finished with the hedge I was so exhausted that I did diddly-squat for two months.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I pulled myself together and inspected the fence situation. Almost a month was spent in preparation and planning. Finally ten days ago I had accumulated all the necessary materials needed, figured out the workings of my electric saw, and discussed the interruptions and irritations my project would cause with the neighbour. She was extremely helpful, no doubt worried that I would abandon my project if she discouraged me. All the fences in the neighbourhood are falling down, various storms and the endlessly gnawing tooth of time have rendered them all ineffective, and having at least one portion of local fencery restored was an alluring prospect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She did ask whether I had done that sort of thing before? Funnily quite a few people asked me that question, including my good friend from Cleveland, who wondered whether "an office girl" like myself was capable of handling a saw.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The fact is, I had never used an electric saw before I started this project, and I never repaired a fence, either.

It has finally happened. I have tackled the pyracantha menace. It was a long time coming ...<br />
<br />
When I had first bought the Little House I was particularly excited about the garden - I had never had one, but had read loads of gardening books by Beverley Nichols. I was dying to try out all his ideas!<br />
<br />
It was a particularly tragic chapter in a gardening life dominated by pain and rejection. To summarise, my neighbours all loved tall trees with dense foliage, and nothing grew in my garden. I spent thousands of pounds on it, but everything died.<br />
<br />
The only plants that didn't die were ivy, ferns, and pyracantha bushes. So that's what I planted. They didn't grow all that well, but they survived, and provided a little green colour in the unremitting gloom on the forest floor that was my garden.<br />
<br />
Then the incredible happened - my neighbours started to cut down their trees! Sunlight entered my garden. And the hitherto subdued pyracanthas thrived and reached for the sky. Every year they grew taller and wider. I tried to cut them back a bit, but they have up to 4 inch long spines, and my compost heap was small.<br />
<br />
I extended the compost heap, by digging two feet into the ground and making it 2 meters long and wide, but it still wasn't large enough to accommodate all the foliage that I needed to cut down in my garden.<br />
<br />
For years I let things slide, indulging in massive, futile, slashing orgies once or twice a year, compost heap space permitting. Things came to a crisis this year, because I had not been able to do much last year, on account of being unwell. The pyracanthas completely dominated the garden, strangling the damson tree, the apple tree, and even the birch. The neighbour's honeysuckle had inserted itself into the pyracantha hedge, and connected, by means of its endlessly long vines, the birch, the damson tree, and the apple tree with the pyracantha hedge. The resulting matted mess was impenetrable, and pigeons used it for immoral purposes. I harvested neither damsons not apples, and the birch looked increasingly aggrieved. Things had to change!<br />
<br />
So at the start of May, emboldened by the three day Bank Holiday weekend that lay before me, I donned my Japanese working skirt, turtleneck, and fleece jacket, and ventured into the wilderness, armed with shears, a small saw, and a side cutter (usually used to cut electric wires, but pressed into service, since I own no secateurs).<br />
<br />
I started systematically at one end of the hedge, and sawed off the large trunks. Then I wildly brandished my long handled shears, to frighten off the wildlife that was caught up in the trunk, and cut through any branches and honey suckle and ivy shoots that connected the hedge to the severed trunk. Then I threw the trunk into one of the two open areas in the garden, and steeled myself to cut the next one.<br />
<br />
This activity took up most of the Bank Holiday weekend, and every evening of the week that followed. Finally I was done!<br />
<br />
Now the real work started. All the cut branches taken together came to about 5 cubic meter - to compost them I would have had to turn half the garden into one vast compost heap. But there was another option - an incredibly labour intensive option. Obviously I took it.<br />
<br />
I processed every cut branch individually. First I sawed off the really big side branches. Then I clipped off the smaller branches. Then I cut the smallest branches into 4 inch long pieces, and added them onto the compost heap. From the medium sized branches I cut the smallest twigs, which againI cut into small pieces and added to the compost heap. The longer branches I denuded off their leaves, which I added to the compost heap. Then I took the side cutter, and snipped off every single thorn and spike. The medium sized branch, now innocent of all leaves and thorns, I piled against the garden fence. The large branches/trunks I treated in a similar way, and piled up in another place.<br />
<br />
All this took over two weeks, including two long weekends (I had added some annual leave to the Bank Holidays) and every evening (about three hours every day after I had finished the office work).<br />
<br />
I cannot exaggerate how proud I am of myself!!!!! I spent approximately 60 hours (sixty!!!) snipping thorns off pyracantha branches - who does that? A lesser DB would have ordered a large container and had the lot hauled off to the city dump. But I am made of sterner stuff!!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway. Last Sunday by midday I had completed my labours. I now had a high compost heap (about 2 cubic meters), a large pile of medium sized branches and twigs, and another large piles of large branches and trunks.<br />
<br />
At the bottom of my garden is 2 meter high brick boundary wall. Almost half of it is taken up by the compost heap. The other half was populated by various oddments of garden rubbish.<br />
<br />
I cleared the garden rubbish, and then constructed a Dead Wood Hedge Thingy.<br />
<br />
My thinking was, since I had destroyed all those pricker bushes, which had served the local wildlife as shelter and a source of nourishment (mind you,I found no bird nests in my cuttings), I determined to make amends.<br />
<br />
I rammed several poles and branches one foot away from the wall into the ground, parallel to the wall. Into the gap between the wall and the poles I stashed my twigs, branches, and trunks, carefully leaving little gaps, to accommodate hibernating amphibians and nesting birds.<br />
<br />
At one end,where the wall meets the fence,I incorporated my old bird-feeder, as a particularly luxurious nesting opportunity. I closed off two of the openings, and surrounded it by a few pyracantha branches that had retained their thorns, stacked too close for large birds like magpies, but not too close for little birds like robins and wrens.<br />
<br />
There is a huge canopy of ivy on the wall, so hopefully it will soon disguise both the compost heap and the dead wood hedge.<br />
<br />
I am typing this seated on my garden bench, pleased with my labours, and mulling over plans of how to repopulate the now strangely empty garden. I want to plant flowers, and maybe some fruit bushes like currants - after all these decades of gloom I crave some colour. Besides,the pyracanthas did provide blossoms for the bees, and berries for the bird, so I will needs to offset the loss of all the cut down bushes.<br />
<br />
Just in case you wonder, I have retained two pyracanthas. The one in front of the kitchen window, that shields the garden bench, and one especially tall one next to the birch tree. I cut back of the other stems, and only retained the tallest, which reaches for the sky and looks like a tree, with a bare trunk and a canopy. It looks a little off, but I need it for the washing line.<br />
<br />
I add lots of photos below, to illustrate my writing. I wish I had a polarising filter, thelight is never so cold as in the photos, and the garden, while bare, really does look very nice and inviting in the sunshine.<br />
<br />
I am very pleased to be sitting here on my bench!<br />

It's the Wrinklies wot done it!</h4>
<br />
I have noticed recently that the idea that old people are ruining things for the young is being increasingly pushed during the current crisis.<br />
<br />
Blaming the wrinklies for the woes of the young has been rumbling on for a few years, and curiously enough it isn't the 'young' - ie anyone under 30 - who are doing the arguing. Indeed, I have discussed this with many of my young friends, and they have all dismissed the notion, sometimes offering up the same arguments I had prepared to convince them. I will return to them later in this post.<br />
<br />
Instead this idea is promulgated by middle aged and older folks, mainly on the right or left wing fringes of the intellectual spectrum. Why do they do this, and why now increasingly so? Why this mustard keenness to stab an entire generation in the back and divide the nation? Since it is not a notion that stands up to close questioning, why is it being pushed?<br />
<br />
With regard to the individuals who argue for it, they probably have a multitude of reasons. A guilty conscience for having had a good and, as they see it, undeserved good life, an erroneous comparison of the past with the present, selective memory, and a desire to make a name for themselves by making inflammatory statements, have probably all contributed.<br />
<br />
With regard to those who give column inches and talk show time to such views, I think they do it to deflect the public's attention from the real villains, and thus protect the special interests that they serve.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Corona Crisis</h4>
<br />
Take the current crisis. <br />
<br />
(1) It is not the old people who demanded / decided to shut down the country to 'protect the old and vulnerable' - it is the government.<br />
<br />
(2) About a third of the young have health issues that make them vulnerable to not just death, but also serious illness that may leave them long-term impaired, from the Corona virus.<br />
<br />
(3) The situation has been made worse by governmental mismanagement:<br />
(a) An NHS starved of resources, and undermined by various re-organisations<br />
(b) An initial laissez faire approach to the disease which allowed the virus to spread<br />
(c) A refusal to participate in EU ventilator sourcing project for ideological reasons<br />
(d) A continuing penny-pinching with regard to PPE, that has cost lives<br />
(e) Impoverishing the population, many of whom have inadequate housing and income<br />
(f) Enabling greed and selfishness, which undermined social cohesion<br />
(g) An ideological approach to problems, rather than a practical one<br />
(h) Allowing fools to occupy important positions for party political reasons<div><span> </span><span> </span><span> (i) Applying different standards to Toffs & Co versus the plebs</span><br />
(j) Complete the list with your own examples, as appropriate!<br />
<br />THUS, the government and its enablers are in dire need for a scapegoat. Not just for the current mess, but even more so for the Brexit Hard Exit situation they are continuing to prepare for, in the teeth of all reason and practicality.<br />
<br />
Since they can't really blame the EU for their mismanagement of the corona crisis (not to say they won't try), they are throwing shade on China (which is deserved but fraught with danger, since they need China as a trading partner) and on those who can't fight back - the old and infirm.<br />
<br />
<h4>However - Before blaming older generations, you may want to consider the following</h4>
<br />
<b>The young have always been exploited and given a raw deal</b>. Who do the fighting and dying in the wars? The young. Who do the hard physical labour? The young. Who risk life and limb giving birth to future generations? The young. Who get paid the lowest wages? The young. It was ever thus.</div><div><br /></div><div>
But .... <b>everyone who is old now was young once</b>, and equally exploited, and usually worse. The ancients currently in the stocks for being greedy were caned in schools, got their first job when 14, did not go to university, had no access to birth control or divorce so frequently 'had to marry' and got trapped in bad marriages, lacked many of the luxuries we nowadays take for granted (internet access, employment protection, health & safety - yes, protection from exposure to asbestos, for example, is so worth it!, all year round special foods, multiple holidays abroad, etc etc). I could go on, but you get the point.</div><div><br /></div><div>Instead you may want to consider <b>WHO has always done this exploiting?</b> Hint - it was not the older generation as a whole. It was those in power, who usually exploit us all more or less equally. Just because most of those in power are older, doesn't mean that THE OLD as a group rule the country for their own benefit!<br />
<br />
<b>The older you get the more you have accumulated.</b> Seems obvious - if someone has worked and earned for 50 years their chances of having accumulated enough to have a nice house and pension are a lot higher than those of your average 30 year old. Comparing the material circumstances of the old and young who currently live in the same country, and concluding that the young are disadvantaged, is disingenuous. The comparison should be between what the ones who are old now had when they were young, and what the ones who are young now have. The current young generation is better off, in my opinion.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly .... <b>When people are young, most of them have a healthy body. </b> The older one gets, the harder it is to feel the joys that come from having a healthy body. The senses dull or even disappear. I lost my sense of smell about five years ago, and the world has become duller. No more smelling of flowers, savouring subtle nuances of food, feeling comforted by the smells that go with favourite friends and relations. And no more avoiding spoilt foods - I have a lot more food poisoning now than when I was able to smell things. The same goes for the other senses, of course, and the rest of the body - what was easy and natural when one was young, because increasingly an effort and a chore as one ages.</div><div><br /></div><div>To make up for this declining body, one has to spend money. In my case, I throw away a lot of food that is probably perfectly alright, because I cannot detect whether or not it is safe to eat. </div><div><br /></div><div>When your senses dull. live becomes duller, and you have to turn up the volume, to still get some joy of it. That is why people need more money when they grow older.</div><div><br /></div><div>And as aging accelerates, there are medical and mobility issues, and grieving for one's ailing body is overshadowed by mourning the loss of one's relatives and friends, who drop off the perch, one by one.</div><div><br /></div><div>Being poor is OK when you are young and healthy - it certainly was for me. But being poor when you are old and decrepit is not OK.</div><div><br /></div><div>I appreciate that most of the young folk I know appreciate this.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I am not, by the way, complaining - growing older is a heck of a lot better than the alternative!</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br />

For three days she had shaken, fumigated, hoovered, vinegar watered, and brushed, the carpets that lay on her floors, the saddlebags that covered her chairs cushions, and the kelims that curtained her four poster bed.<br />
<br />
She was battling against the moth menace again, and loosing every fight. No matter how hard she cleaned, no matter how many strips of moth killer she slipped under her carpets, no matter how many pheromone traps she distributed around the house, the moths were still winning.<br />
<br />
She was no longer prepared to tolerate it.<br />
<br />
"Helga," she shouted at the top of her voice, "Helga, something has to be done!"<br />
<br />
Her daughter lifted her head from a book, and smiled. "Mother dear," she intoned in her honeyed voice, which she always employed when trying to get out of helping with the housework, "have you tried Transcendental Meditation?" "You are taking these things entirely too seriously."<br />
<br />
"Harrumpph," or something like that, said Mrs Allnixguts.<br />
<br />
Then she telephoned the university.<br />
<br />
"Put me through to the Biology Department," she demanded. The telephonist recognised her voice from previous calls, and tried to stall. But Mrs Allnixguts was adamant. "The Biology Department!" she demanded in that stentorian voice that put the fear of God into anyone it was directed at.<br />
<br />
Sighing, the telephonist put her through to the Biology Department. It took some time before she could transfer the call, since most biologists knew Mrs Allnixguts of old and preferred not to take her calls.<br />
<br />
Everyone, that is, except the janitor, who was a secret experimenter and illegally used the laboratory to test his harebrained inventions after opening hours.<br />
<br />
He took her call, nodded sagely, occasionally asked a clarifying question, and eventually admitted that he had no idea of how to help her.<br />
<br />
"If all else fails go to the Philosophy Department," thought Mrs Allnixguts.<br />
<br />
The Philosophy Department consisted of five Professors who liked to use their brains.<br />
<br />
"Militant moths," mused Byron. "Let's analyse the possibilities," opined Dan. "Above all, we must do no harm," interjected Irving. "This is definitely multi-departmental," concluded Don.<br />
<br />
Mrs Allnixguts was informed that the Philosophers would accept the challenge, and told to return in a week's time.<br />
<br />
With her out of the way, the Philosophers brain-stormed the situation.<br />
<br />
(1) Do moths have a language? Ask the biologists and the chemists.<br />
(2) If they do, how can we magnify it so it becomes discernible to humans? Explore this with the engineers.<br />
(3) What sort of language do they speak? Explore with the classicists and modern language teachers.<br />
(4) Do moths do deals? Enlist the help of economists.<br />
(5) What sort of deal can we offer them? Discuss with Mrs Allnixguts.<br />
<br />
The biologists and chemists confirmed that moths did have a language.<br />
<br />
The engineers built an electronic magnifier that made it audible.<br />
<br />
However, the language experts turned out to be completely useless, and failed to decipher the language of the moths. That stalled progress for a few days, until Irving went back to first principles, and managed to decode the most frequently used sound bites he heard, with the help of a visiting economist, Isabella Kaputnik, who had a vast experience of moths.<br />
<br />
She also helped with the deal-making aspect of the matter. According to her, the Common Clothes Moth, <i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Tineola bisselliella,</b></i> had few wants and was easily satisfied, provided it was treated with respect. "They are just as happy eating unwanted left overs as expensive cashmere sweaters," she said. "Provided you supply them with some sort of food, address them correctly, and don't swat or poison them, they will be quite amicable."<br />
<br />
Mrs Allnixguts was confronted with these findings, and asked what sort of deal she would accept.<br />
<br />
"Do they eat fluff-bunnies?" By which she meant, did moths eat the balls of fluff found behind the doors and in the corners of houses owned by persons who don't like dusting - popularly referred to as sluts-wool.<br />
<br />
"It is definitely worth asking," said Isabella. "But you should also offer them other things." "Old sweaters and wool blankets that I no longer need," said Mrs Allnixguts. "Cut-offs and left-over crafting supplies," she added.<br />
<br />
They set up a meeting with the moths. The moths were happy with all the offered food, but asked for the contents of the hoover bag to be thrown in as well. This was conceded by Mrs Allnixguts.<br />
<br />
Next they discussed the location of the food, and thus the moths. The moths demanded a warm and dark place. No garden shed, no outhouse, and no cellar. Mrs Allnixguts suggested the attic. "I hardly ever go there, and there is lots of old furniture and such like, where you can build a nest, if you like." The moths agreed to this location, with the provision that they would be allowed into the house if the attic got too hot or too cold. This Mrs Allnixguts agreed to, with the proviso that the moths would abstain from eating anything except the dust that collected on her furniture. The moths were happy with this.<br />
<br />
That gave Don an idea. "If the moths like house-dust, which is mainly fluff, why don't they come down once a week and eat all the dust? They have an outing, and you don't have to do the dusting!" This idea was taken up with alacrity by both moths and Mrs Allnixguts. So they agreed that the moths would be summoned every Saturday morning to come into the house and 'do the dusting'.<br />
<br />
There remained one sticking point, however. Mrs Allnixguts was unhappy about the moths' demand to be addressed in what they considered a respectful manner, and balked at addressing them as 'Their Imperial Mothnesses'. It seemed excessive to her. Yet worse, the moths insisted that every Saturday morning, when they entered her parlour, they would be announced and introduced to whoever happened to be present at the time, in the following way: "Hail and Praise Their Imperial Mothnesses, Rulers of Carpets, Queens of the Fluffballs, Majesties of the Wool-closet!" They also insisted to be told the name, rank, and relationship to the household, of everyone present.<br />
<br />
Mrs Allnixguts resisted. "Everyone will think me mad," she complained.<br />
<br />
"No one would dare," said Irving, who knew her well.<br />
<br />
Since Mrs Allnixguts could not ague with that without losing face, she agreed to address the moths in the way they desired.<br />
<br />
Thus began a life of bliss and happiness for Mrs Allnixguts, who no longer had to dust and worry about her carpets and woolens, and the moths, who finally received the respect and acceptance from human beings that they had always craved and longed for.<br />
<br />
In time Mrs Allnixguts' visitors got used to the moths, and several of them, upon hearing of the Deal, enlisted the Philosophers to arrange something similar for their own home.<br />
<br />
And they all lived happily ever after, or until they died.<br />
<br />
I can dream, can't I? <br />

Why-ever not Mongolia?</h3>
<br />
A few weeks before the last Book-Club event, the Booksters and I were haunting the club terrace, decanted into deck chairs, sipping Pimms, and wondering what topic to pick next.<br />
<br />
After a while one can easily run out of subject matters - I should explain that in this book-club, we choose subjects, not books. Back in our pioneer days, when one of our number chose a book, and the others were obliged to read it, life had not been quite so pleasant. To be frank about it, unfortunate choices frequently lead to altercations. Because we are all very different. And some of my fellow club members are decidedly scurrilous in their literary tastes.<br />
<br />
Discussing the finer points of the Necronomicon, or delving into the secret languages of gut bacteria, or even tackling the fluffier chapters of Barbara Cartland's Autobiography, can have a corrosive effect on the proceedings of even the most even-tempered bookinistas - and we are so not even-tempered.<br />
<br />
So we decided that we would chose a topic, rather than a specific book, for our monthly meetings, and that everyone could pick a book that fit within that topic. During the meeting everyone can discuss their book for half an hour or so, and that way we learn about lots of books we never knew anything about, and also don't fall out over having to read books we don't want to.<br />
<br />
I note that while we were running with the one-book-for-all book-club model, some members used considerable deception and trickery to avoid reading an assigned book they didn't like, pleading ever more ludicrous reasons why they couldn't. The Morrigan was particularly averse to any book I chose, and did this at least three times to my favourite volumes. Not good Morrigan, very not good!<br />
<br />
Anyway. There we were, ruminating about the next topic, and suddenly someone opined, "Why-ever not Mongolia?" We pretty much all agreed that Mongolia had no literary value, lacked recent history, was touristically uninteresting, and probably imaginary. "It'll be a challenge then," we were admonished. "I don't even know where Mongolia is," complained Maddy. "Alright, that's agreed then," I summed up the situation. The Morrigan glowered.<br />
<br />
At lunchtime of the Friday before the meeting, we all received an emergency luncheon invite from The Morrigan. I wondered what excuse she would use this time to explain her lack of application to the Mongolian subject matter.....<br />
<br />
"I can't possibly cope with reading the history of Genghis Khan," she opened the conversation. We booed and hissed. "There are other Mongolian-related books," I pointed out. Everyone else looked pained. "There so are not," said Joseph. "There is nothing except history of the period between Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan." Maddy agreed. "A bookishly barren landscape, is Mongolia."<br />
<br />
I smiled my most superior smile, and pulled out The Bloody White Baron, by James Palmer, a book which recounts the story of Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, who mixed things up a bit in Mongolia in the 1920s. "What's that then?" The Morrigan looked at the cover, which featured a portrait of the baron, surrounded by a profusion of skulls (the baron was a bloodthirsty maniac), read the blurb on the back, and dismissed the book out of hand. "Even worse than Ghengis Khan," she pronounced. "I have a better plan."<br />
<br />
"That's all very well," said Joseph, "but I have spent ten hours I will never get back reading the history of women at the court of Genghis Khan, and I am neither willing nor able to read another book by tomorrow morning!" "Ditto", added Maddy. I just looked hurt.<br />
<br />
"It takes ten and a half hours to fly to Mongolia," said The Morrigan. "Here are the tickets. I checked with your managers, you can all take Monday off. We leave today after work, arrive early Saturday morning, and leave Monday evening. Then we go straight back to work." You see what I mean about using trickery to get out of reading things she doesn't want to?<br />
<br />
We obviously all had to agree to spend a long weekend in Mongolia. Why-ever not?<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Flight to Ulaan Baatar</h4>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Luckily
I had a few hours to prepare before I had to be at the airport, and I spent it
locating some reading matter that might come in handy during the holiday.
My fellow booklovers had brought their Mongolia-themed books along - having already read
them, they were averse to forsaking them completely - and it was decided that
each of us would have half an hour to introduce their chosen volume during the flight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Luckily the plane was practically empty, so our little group dominated the cabin, and none of the other passengers (dared to) complain. The solitary steward, having completed the emergency drill, glazed over within minutes of our readings.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Morrigan had a
Lonely Planet Travel Guide, from which she read us some interesting
statistics. Maddy entertained us with <span style="background: white; color: #201f1e;">‘The Secret History of the Mongol Queens - How the daughters of Genghis
Khan rescued his empire’ by Jack Weatherford, Joseph read us the introduction
of ‘Genghis Khan: Life, Death and Resurrection’ by John
Man, and last went Blondie (who had missed the lunchtime meeting but came
along anyway) and extrapolated from the blurb on the back of 'Women and the Making of the Mongol
Empire' (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization) by Anne F Broadbridge.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e; font-family: inherit;">I had decided to go
last, knowing from bitter experience that my offerings did not always find favour. I reasoned that by going last, having listened to everyone else reading from their books, I had earned the right to be listened to in my turn. It was dark outside, and my fellow </span><span style="color: #201f1e;">travelers</span><span style="color: #201f1e; font-family: inherit;"> had snuggled deep into their blankets, when I introduced my reading matter. "In consideration of The Morrigan's aversion to my chosen book about </span></span>von Ungern-Sternberg, I have brought along a few different articles of interest about Mongolia." Before I settled into my task, I decided to go for a quick trip to the toilet.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
When I returned, my friends looked incredibly sleepy, and upon closer inspection I noticed an empty tube of sleeping pills that had rolled under The Morrigan's seat. Since I knew the way she operated, I surmised that she had utilised my toilet break to peruse my reading matter, shared her knowledge with the alarmed bookinistas, and suggested the sleeping pills as a way of avoiding my impending lecture.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
Well, I wasn't that easily thwarted! Whether they liked it or not, I had a captive audience, albeit asleep, and I was going to read them my chosen article. Who knows, maybe they would absorb the subject matter in their sleep? With an even, quiet voice, loud enough to be heard, but not loud enough to wake them, I started to read. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">It took 45 minutes to complete the reading of the entire article, and no one awoke during the reading. Satisfied with my labours, and full of future plans, I, too, went to sleep.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">Adventures in Uulaan Bataar</span></span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">We awoke shortly before landing. Maddy looked vaguely suspicious, The Morrigan smug, Joseph thoughtful, and Blondie had a hangover. We found out later that she had smuggled in a large bottle of gin, which she claimed was similar to having an emotional support animal. I was nonchalant, and assumed an air of injured innocence - I am rather good at that, and it is quite necessary to be so, on rather too many occasions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">Going through customs, the officer attempted to flirt with Blondie, the most physically attractive member of our little group. "So what are your plans? Is there anything in particular you want to see while in Ulaan Bataar? I can recommend the Toy Museum!" Her answer puzzled both him and her. "I should adore to see the Institute for Fermented Yak Butter," she said in a low, husky voice.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">Luckily no one aside from me and Joseph heard her....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">In the hotel we had a quick wash & brush, and then assembled at the breakfast buffet. It was unremarkable, being of the sort one usually finds at international hotels, but was augmented by a few national specialties. To my quiet satisfaction, everyone added some milk or cheese product to their breakfast tray.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">The morning was spent touristing about on Chinggis Square, and lunch was obtained from a small local restaurant we discovered in a side street. The Mongolian food pyramid is top heavy with milk products (called white food), so it was quite natural that we all ate various combinations of mutton, cheese, and potatoes. The tea afterwards was served with a liberal serving of milk (goat, not yak), and the alcoholic beverage Blondie tasted was called Airag and made of fermented horse milk.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">We then repaired to the Feminist Club; I am an auxiliary member, of course, and it seemed an easy way to make some connections. Ulaan Bataar is simply crawling with educated women - they far outnumber educated men. In Mongolia, the boys take care of the animals while the girls are sent to school. The unfortunate consequence of this is often that the women, no longer inured to certain unpleasant courtship rituals, remain men-less. A number of them had formed the Feminist Club, which was part social scene and part special interest group. They welcomed us with open arms, except for Joseph who had to sit outside in the garden and brood. The club was ladies only.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">However, his isolation did not last long. Half a dozen club members decided to give us a taste of the town, and soon we all set off for a whirlwind tour of the beauties of Ulaan Bataar. I am not going to give details, because we went around so quickly that I couldn't remember much, but let it suffice that there was more to see in the Mongolian capital than I had suspected. The Morrigan took credit for everything, of course, and since she had both our return tickets and the credit card that subsidised us, we did not argue with her.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">We finally sank into our bunk beds - The Morrigan had bought the cheapest room going, and it was a common one for all of us. They all grumbled a little, but finally fell asleep. I was mightily pleased to have them all in one space again, and decided to continue to read them excerpts of my Mongolian scientific articles (after they had dropped off).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;">Sunday was overcast and rainy, so we decided to spend the day in the Toy Museum, followed by the Mongol Costumes Museum, The Memorial Museum of the Victims of Political Repression, and The Institute for Fermented Yak Butter. I had expected greater resistance to this last choice, but it seemed that traipsing around town for two days straight had undermined their resistance. Or perhaps my plan was working? I was determined to continue my bed time readings that night.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.102px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Monday morning was beautifully sunny and put us all in a wonderful mood - our last day in Mongolia had arrived! The happy mood was unfortunately spoilt over breakfast, when The Morrigan overheard Blondie (the most susceptible member of our group) give a fellow European tourist a little talk on the benefits of fermented yak products. She was using long words and liberally sprinkled her sermon with Latin words which The Morrigan suspected she did not understand, but which seemed strangely familiar to her. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">"R</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.9991px;">andomized, double-blind clinical trials using </span><em style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.9991px;">L. plantarum</em><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.9991px;"> showed that there was significant lowering of sepsis and lower respiratory tract infections among infants in rural India,"</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , "stixgeneral" , serif; font-size: 15.9991px;"> she heard Blondie saying while slurping an extra large serving of Mare's yogurt.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "stixgeneral" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.9991px;">Now The Morrigan, say of her what you will, has an active intellect and an incisive mind. Her suspicion aroused, she looked around the breakfast table. All members of the Bookclub were eating super-human sized portions of milk products - all non-Bookclub member tourists had given such products a wide berth, and were tucking into bacon and eggs, and similar western fare. She glanced at her own plate, which was laden with cheese derived products, and at her glass, normally full of orange juice, now mysteriously full of double-distilled goats milk. She then turned towards me, not just her face, but her entire body, and said in a cold hard threatening voice: " This is your doing, dastardly DB."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "stixgeneral" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.9991px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "stixgeneral" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.9991px;">I shrieked and shivered inwardly, but admitted nothing. "Whatever do you mean, is anything the matter?" </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "stixgeneral" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.9991px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "stixgeneral" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.9991px;">But she just snorted. Obviously she was on to me - would all my hard work be undone?</span></span></span><br />
