"A Long-Expected Party" (IX)

"Then the weather clouded over. That was on Wednesday the eve of the Party. Anxiety was intense."



I wish it were true here, on this Wednesday. I miss some rainy weather, like last week's. But now, it's warm again, too warm, I would say.  I suppose it is the way the summer chooses to spend its last day of 2016.
I am anxious, too, but for different reasons. Today I have my day packed, with two M.A. Theses in the morning, office hours in the afternoon and class in the evening. Precisely tomorrow, when I have quite a bit of reading to do. I love "The Shadow of the Past" and, call me old-fashioned, but I like reading this part in the cozy atmosphere of a book. Tomorrow, however, I'll take up to my office my electronic version and read it there, since I'll be exhausted by the time I arrive home at around 22.00. I still want to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's Birthday Party and welcome autumn with a vegan carrot cake, so I think it's time for me to start baking so that it's ready for tomorrow.

On a different order of things, today, we at the University and City of Granada had our very own party. This morning, at Granada Townhall, the European Researchers' Night 2016 has been officially presented, rocket and all!!!
