UPDATE
It's been a month and a half since I posted. Eek!
During that period, I've read some books, but haven't had much to say about them. The Worst Fifth on Record by Winifred Norling has a new teacher as a main character. I preferred the school aspects of the story (and it's no The New Mistress at the Chalet School). Gwendoline Courtney's The Grenville Garrison is about a family, but is an adventure story, which I don't think is Courtney's forte, and refers to a Ruritania-like country - Czaravia. I also read Behind the Dragon's Teeth by Monica Marsden, feeling quite envious of the main characters, who were getting the better of an evil gang in the summer while always managing to go for a swim in the sea every afternoon.
I saw a half-hour documentary about the ballerina Sylive Gulliem, which was interesting and made me wish I could see her dance live.
