    “51 years, 9 months, 4 days — which was how long Florentino had waited.“
    It makes me think of Mar­quez. Take it as a com­pli­ment, of course.

    If you’re lucky. (Ew, I’m so ‘glass half full’ lately.)

    Ten days,
    Ten weeks,
    Ten months,
    even Ten years,
    You will still mean the same to me.

    Is this taken from my last let­ter to Abbey National?

    Lore — Hello and wel­come. And, well, I cer­tainly would take Mar­quez as a com­pli­ment, yes.

    Clarissa — The same, more or less. Give or take ten or so.

    Ani — I’m feel­ing very lucky. (Ew, me too, it seems.)

    Blue­seaurchin — In ten years, I’ll have been blog­ging for eight­een years. Which is a ter­ri­fy­ing thought, not least for the readers.

    Ben — Abso­lutely. And that O/D against the bal­ance is merely the Abbey’s way of say­ing ‘Oh dear’.
