It goes against my principles of fairness and equality to let Gramsci star here two days in a row - but really, how could one resist this view of my study floor? And who can blame the young man for his sleepiness - the temperature hit 98 here today, which is Too Hot. I realised this when I went to the Post Office to express-mail off to London my signed contract/transfer of deeds on 20 Hillside - at last! This is such a relief. Admittedly, exchanging contracts isn't the same thing as completing the sale - that has to wait for the interminable grind of probate to complete (as a friend of mine here in Santa Fe said yesterday, he knows a good firm of lawyers in London called Jarndyce and Jarndyce ...). But it's a whole big important step further along, even if it doesn't seem to matter much to our Grammy.
