Breakfast the Eighty-Sixth

Doppelganger shreddies. 
I haven't started the Barbara Pym that my orange juice is resting on yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it. I read "Excellent Women" a while ago and loved it. She's the second Barbara I've fallen for. Barbara Trapido is most excellent too. Perhaps I ought to change my name to Barbara -- maybe there's something in the name that elicits literary brilliance.

    But Barbara Pym is IT - non plus ultra etc.
