It begins

What it?
Well - two really.
The lovely one pictured above - a free subscription to the London Review of Books - first issue arrived today - foggy and cold and windy outside so a perfect day for snuggling up with this.
Second beginning is this post made on the new 'puter. Hating it all at the moment - and you can quote me on that - Windows 8 is all very strange and different sigh :-(
