After spending most of the day reading about the history of sacramentaries, ordinales, and pontificals, I finally got out to swing dancing, which was rockin’ awesome. The band that played was Sly Blue, and thanks to their music, plus the fact I’d had a steady diet of sugar all day (what with pie for breakfast and chocolate for dinner), I was cutting a rug. There was no shortage of partners and no lack of enthusiasm — the sort of night that always brings to mind that fabulous line from P&P, “Catherine and Lydia had been fortunate enough to be never without partners, which was all that they had yet learnt to care for at a ball.”
Bedtime hasn’t felt this well-deserved in a long time.
May I present Sly Blue:
