While this post has been under construction, the death has been announced of Anthea Bell: since this is the all-comics version, impossible to pass by without mentioning her!

Then back to Kendal, and picking up where I left off, We continued to have trouble throughout the weekend locking and unlocking the door: we decided blame the wet weather. But on Friday evening we eventually persuaded a key to turn in one of the two locks, decided that would do, and headed to the Brewery to collect our tickets and passes. I'd hoped to have a look at the Hunt Emerson exhibition, but it was in a space also occupied by a band making music at a volume too loud for comfort, so we retreated. From two floors away, it sounded rather good, and I wondered what it was, but I don't suppose I shall ever know. In the bar we found Bryan and Mary Talbot, and Mel Gibson (no, silly, the real Mel Gibson), and there was pleasant chat before the doors opened for the evening's event.

Friday evening gala: Marvel vs DC )

The bad new is, I have broken the stepladder.

The good news is that I was not using it at the time.

Damaged in transit, I suppose you'd say. I had reached the stage where I could not shelve any more crime fiction until I made more room on the shelves (by moving some paperbacks to the shallower top shelf). I have carried the stepladder down the stairs from the cupboard where it lives, and was about to carry it into the spare bedroom. But I misjudged the angle, and gave the top of the ladder a smart tap on the door frame. There was a musical ringing note, and a single screw fell to the floor. But clearly that single screw was all that was holding the steps together.

Which wasn't the worst way to find that out.
