The Big Wheel

More from my garden later today, thrillingly. Meanwhile, how about a little life and death to start the week? The bathos and denial of a blog in its death throes (now inert). Offset by the all the angst and queasy possibility of a new-born blog.

Extra: These new ones are more ambitious: an Antarctic climbing expedition (will the laptop cope with the cold?) and someone on a mission to get a job at the UN, armed, so to speak, with two years of back issues of Foreign Affairs, a degree in Speech, something called a Circa book and an Internet connection.
