You can have Middlemarch read to you. It’s available on Libby as an audiobook - all 33 hours of it. Thoroughly recommend and it frees up your hands so you can get on with everything (or nothing) else you want to do. Cheers.
I’ll look out for it! Love the cute name. I met a lovely local yesterday who cloudwatches too and she says she’s noticed the clouds changing over 30 years, along with the climate. I gave her the cloud book for a few days.
I’m hopeless at remembering names too, but we had some of these clouds -also amazingly long-lasting- in Auckland last week, and I looked them up in the book you recommended. 😁
Lovely to hear your voice, Leah! Enjoy your beachside, dog-free retreat with family. Unpicturesque blanket of fog outside my window today. Ambient sounds of grandchildren wafting up from downstairs (playing, not fighting, phew) and the tumble drier running (again). Five minutes' peace.
I really enjoyed Middlemarch when I read it for the first time for a book group about 10 years ago. I remember picturing Casaubon as really elderly from the way he's introduced. Actually 45. I mean, admittedly a lot older than Dorothea, but not old.
Your home sounds comforting and jolly, Wendy. And really, about Casaubon? Younger than I am? Haha! The BBC cast a much older man, and he’s described as having deep sunk sockets and bad eyes. Actually, that’s me. Also, Dorothea is such an idiot.

Oh wow, Sara - I can take George Eliot down to the beach!! Lovely tip, thank you!
I hope you get to see what I call the Kāpiti Kap. It's a cloud that shapes itself over the top of Kāpiti Island in the same profile.

I'm not gonna be admiring those "flegmy" mushrooms at Moore Wilson's anymore now 🤣😝
I have ZERO taste.
Virga clouds?
Oh my GAR!!! I think you’re right! Thanks Jan

I am THRILLED about this! I think you’d enjoy the CloudSpotter app. Everyone here rolls their eyes when I look clouds up

I was older than Casaubon when I read it, too! See also: Mr Collins in Pride and Prejudice. 25!
