Drat. And Double Drat.

I wanted to re-read the Lord Peter Wimsey book The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, set on today's holiday. My library system no longer has a copy.
I have had difficulty in finding in-print versions of my beloved novels. I shall just have to be patient. I shall read the short story collection Lord Peter instead, and allow myself to be charmed for the nonce. But, both books are totally on my search-and-buy list, because these are books I like to re-read all of the time.
I also had gone to three florists yesterday, looking for poppies to wear today. British and Canadian traditions are apparently unknown in Columbus flower shops. None of the florist ladies had any idea why I should want a poppy for today.
