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.
