henna day post

[gwynnega]

Today is Henna Day. We've been having summer heat, but this morning was overcast. It even rained in other parts of town, but not here in Silver Lake, alas.

Yesterday I drove to broiling Glendale for another trip to Brand Bookshop (which is supposed to close in about a month). Their stock is now selling for 70% off, with no tax. I browsed while Clara Schumann and Mozart played on the radio, and bought books by Sylvia Townsend Warner (the Virago edition of Summer Will Show), Madeleine L'Engle and Karen Joy Fowler. I really wish the store weren't closing. Also, I wish it were autumn already.

More bookstores closing? AUGH.

I wish your store wasn't closing, too. And how very much I long for autumn.

[hugs] Happy henna-ing.

Rain? In SoCal in july? The world is ending!

Muggy down here, though, which is business as usual.

We only have four more months of summer before we can hope for a break. That is my mantra!
