Arrival
My parents are in town. Today they toured their house, which they had never seen. Their next task will be to help Karin & me to pack up our belongings so that we can move into our new house, so they can move into theirs.
This will take weeks to do.
Leading them around their yard, I urged them to buy a weedwhacker and to have their trees trimmed.

This fall I am reading Compulsory Games, in which are reprinted fifteen “uncanny” tales of Robert Aickman. He seems to have had two great interests: this literary genre, and the conservation of Britain’s canals (he co-founded the Inland Waterways Association). He strikes me as having been an offbeat, fastidious person.
I like his stories very much.
