Today I am celebrating the fact that 22 years ago on November 7th I had a baby. And amongst many other achievements she makes the best knitted mice.

Eating jam toast in bed while thinking hard about the essay I'm writing. Obviously.

At last! I am back in the late 18th century where I love to be. Written and published by Daniel Isaac Eaton in 1793. He produced a weekly pamphlet called 'Hogs Wash, The Politics of the People'. His verses were often read aloud in gatherings that allowed one literate person to share the words.

'I grow old . . . I grow old . . .
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
(T.S.Eliot 'Lovesong of J.Alfred Prufrock')
