I'm trying to work out where the day went. Part of it went to the market with me and my friends, of course, it being market Sunday. We had a lot of fun, and I've bought my last loaf of bread until May, plus pork-free duck pate to eat it with. Then I lost two hours when i fell asleep (still not over this virus!!).
I did a bit of housework and watched more SF then I talked to a niece about Oscar Wilde. She asked me a lot of questions. She's in a production, it seems, and the costumes are all wrong but she's in charge of props (as well as acting) and she's determined to get at least that aspect right.
What was most interesting is that she and her cohort regard 1895 as somewhere in the far distant past ie not modern. I forgot to point out to her that she has met people who were alive a mere five years after 1895. Instead, we talked about the shape of drinking glasses and the feel of newspapers.
I won't tell you the evil advice I gave on how to make paper look frail and aged: it did not use the naked flame. Instead, I'll ask if anyone knows how long skulls take to dry once clean. I need to know because I want my ewe's skull and my kangaroo skull to keep Perceval and his Indian arrowheads company, but I don't want to damage Perceval's lovely 1903 box. Also, should I wash my skulls in the kitchen sink, or will that mean that no-one will eat dinner at my place ever again?
