    An elevator pitch for a new book came to me right after my SweCon kaffeeklatch:

    "In the year 2000, Earth was taken over by a consortium of Bond villains.

    "Then, in 2025, a lone mild-mannered librarian decided to take it back …"

    Think it could sell?

      Incidentally, "in 2000, Earth was taken over by a consortium of Bond villains" works PERFECTLY as an explanation for our current situation. Doesn't it?

          @Gina polyester is ok for repelling water, but it's a terrible insulator and doesn't allow your skin to breathe, so you just get itchy and sweaty despite not actually being warm. Look for 100% wool instead! Ideally a wool overcoat - the length works against both rain and wind and wool is so good that you don't even need a thick/heavy one.

          It's even better for bedding because it regulates rather than just cooks. So a wool duvet is good all year round, cooling you in summer and warming in winter.

          "Amore è un termine troppo debole". Probabilmente #DianeKeaton non avrebbe voluto essere ricordata solo come "la musa di #WoodyAllen". Ma quando sei la protagonista di un #film così, scritto per te come la citazione iniziale, con uno dei finali più belli della storia, è inevitabile.
