Endings

Today has been unusually active with no time for blogging. The day ended with a lively meeting and a drink in the Water Witch on Lancaster Canal (see image) where some people that I care about met for the first time.

We, editorially speaking, barely had time to reread the conclusion of Poul Anderson's "Flight to Forever." Saunders' penultimate time travelling experiences are:

under the sea
the city of energies
a being in the snow
a city on a plain
the sea again
inside a mountain
a bare Earth
blood-red Sun
darkness
dead universe
universe reforming...

Beyond the end is the beginning. It is after midnight here. Tomorrow, gym and another evening meeting.
