La Gata Encantada

La Gata Encantada is the name of a pub in a novel by John Varley. It means 'the enchanted cat'. I like cats, so I stole the sign (it just needed some revarnishing and - Look! Good as new!). The door is open, to an amber glow and the sound of music and good fellowship. Come on in.

Name:

Pure as a virgin and cunning as a rabbit!

The Thing About Hastings

Is there's nothing open. Leastways, nothing open at six on a Wednesday evening except for the supermarket (Countdown) and a very open supermarket it was, too.

There was a Sally Army brass band outside, and lots and lots of shoppers inside, and children singing carols over the PA, and many friendly people giving out fruitcake. It was frenetic, but very cheering.

My feet still hurt.

Some people call that a good thing.

You know, the quiet provincial life, or something.
