Oh, Wouldn’t it be Loverly…

In My Fair Lady, Eliza Doolittle sings of the simple joy of a snug room and coal:

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?

The last seven days shivering in a frozen apartment with no heat and no hot water are now a memory. The new heater is purring away like a fat mechanical kitten. The stories, however, are still running amok. Just as I catch up, two more break free. How will you know when a new story escapes? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On! Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:
