Graham Storey is dead. I know the name means nothing to any of you, and the only reason he means anything to me is cos he was a Dickens scholar and co-edited the Pilgrim edition of Dickens's letters. It's strange to hear about people dying in your field of research, whose stuff you've read. It's strange to meet them too; I ran into several scholars at the last Dickens conference I was at, whom I'd read.
Which reminds me, the Dickens Symposium is in Belfast this upcoming summer. I reckon Leon will want me to give a paper at it :/

I had some mooncake (moon cake? moon-cake?) just a few minutes ago. The green bean bit of it reminded me of fudge, and I was surprised that the salted duck egg actually went ok with it. I wouldn't want more than one bit at a time though.
Sooooooo much work, so little time! Mark took over his old laptop at the weekend to play "Red Alert" so I had to use the old computer upstairs. Which was ok, but I would have preferred to have been working downstairs, with more direct internet access instead of having to untangle the extension lead to Mum and Dad's bedroom.
