I’ve just signed up for this year’s Thing-a-Day which means I also now have a Posterous account. Aarrrgggghhhhh!!!! Yes this is another blogging tool I really didn’t need. But hey, ho!
This is really by way of a test message to see how posting by email to Posterous actually works – and where the results end up!

March: Daffodils; there’s hope at last
April: Spring blossom
May: Anthony Powell Society Collage Event
June: Attended the Garter Service at Windsor, thanks to our friend Richmond Herald
July: The company pension crisis broke, which has led me to early retirement from 5 January 2010
August: Was taken up with preparations for the conference and writing my conference paper
September: While in Washington DC for the Anthony Powell Conference we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary — eeekkkkk!
October: Anthony Powell Society AGM at which Patric Dickinson (3rd from left in this old photo) spoke interestingly about Dorothy Varda
