In 1883, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 7) and his companion Ace travelled to Earth to investigate the creepy manor known as Gabriel Chase. Among the manor’s secrets appeared to be a strange creature and a stone spaceship. To make matters worse, the Doctor learned that Queen Victoria’s life might be at stake.

October Reading
I've been having trouble sitting down to actually write this. It's almost as if I'm under a lot of stress right now. I wonder what uncontrollable near-future political event that could be about.
Recent: I reread a horror novel at the start of the month which will become evident after Trick or Treat author reveals.
Finished How To by Randall Munroe and Unmarriages by Ruth Mazo Karras. Also Biggles Buries a Hatchet, all basically good, discussed in last post.
Got a lot of knitting done while reading M. R. James on The Wanderings and Homes of Manuscripts, which was perhaps not the M. R. James I would expect to read in October, but nonfiction is easier right now. It's very affected by being written immediately post-WWI.
On which note, just now finished The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal by K. J. Charles, right under the wire before it has to go back to the library. Enjoyed it and also very much appreciate the list of referenced Victorian ghost stories in the Acknowledgements.
Also lots of Kinktober.
Current: Still skimming through Painting Nature in Watercolour with Cathy Johnson, whose style I like. Writing style, I mean, but also the watercolors.
I read a third of The Silvered by Tanya Huff and liked it enough to put it on hold again even though my ability to focus on new long fiction isn't really there.
Rereading Steadfast by Mercedes Lackey. Mrs. Pollifax is still continuing slowly.
Have I made any progress on the paper books I have out from the library? No.
Oh, I skimmed the beginning of The Blue Castle recently because I had a fic idea, and I will need to read some Victorian medievalism to get a voice for that.
Future: The Halcyon Fairy Book by T. Kingfisher will probably come in soon. I also want to find another nonfiction book to read at North York Central library to distract from jobsearching. I have a giant list of options, which doesn't necessarily help.
Otherwise not sure whether I will be fine reading normally or want lots of comfort reading. I am looking forward to starting a long RWRB historical AU.

Day 3: A Speaking Engagement and Tea Cakes
Visitors: 107 Books Found: 18 (3 fiction) Total Tally: 49 pounds
Another magical day in Wigtown. Foot traffic was slow to start. We shelved the books that Ruth from the bookshop next door had given us yesterday. Michael had time to replace the “boring” Scotland general window display that was in the far window when we came, with something he thought people might like. The Horses display, with the quote “Horses lend us the wings we lack.” Pam Brown, 1928. Yesterday a girl had asked for a horse book, but today no equestrians came in.
I fancied up the secret brown-wrapped books with lovely brown twine, and added a few for “foodies”. To the “how to” display I added “Shark Drunk: The Art of Catching a Large Shark from a Tiny Rubber Dingy”. Inside the shop, I was tickled pink to find a copy of the original “Colour Me Beautiful” by Carole Jackson circa 1980s. I remember attending home-parties based on her seasonal palette (for clothes and makeup). I was a Spring, Michael a Winter. This fashion theory is having a retro moment (along with Barbie).
Around noon things picked up. We sold 3 secret books, and I was thrilled to see a book I had pulled out and highlighted on the animal shelf “A Lion Called Christian” was bought by someone who’d also seen the documentary about the domesticated and then returned to the wild lion.
It was hard to lock up at 1:45 to walk down to The Smiddy, so I went alone and Michael joined me after he’d made some sales. We had been invited to have tea with the members of the Wigtown and District October Club, which started meeting there in May 2005. The ladies (it’s a mixed club but no men attended) have speakers in, and meet for cards and conversation and tea. They wanted to hear how we ended up at the Open Book. I told them about my love of reading, my first fav books being Heidi and Little Women, and then how I became a writer of short stories (Canadians love that format – I mean our Alice Munro won the Nobel for her short stories!) It was hard for me to understand all of them, and I know I was bastardizing their names in my Canadian accent (Marilyn, Cathy). I learned about a game called Beetle Drive and Marilyn gave me the rules and a few score sheets. They politely listened to me read my short creative non-fiction story Treachery published online in Gastropoda in July, 2022. Michael came and we got prizes in the raffle – I got Tea Cakes (traded with Cathy for the Licorice All Sorts) and Michael a jar of honey from The Isle of Colonsay. They sympathized with the effort of driving on the left, and taught us that a garage sale (where I buy many old books) is called a “car boot sale”.
We met Ben Please, a famous Book Shop musician and invited him to the author reading on Friday night. He suggested we make it later than 4 pm and have free red wine if we want Shaun B. to come. We popped into The Bookstore on our way back from The Smiddy (it was drizzling rain) to meet Shaun, get a signed copy of his new book and invite him to read. He was standing barefoot at the counter signing his books. He may not be able to come, but I told him we’d change the time to suit. So, fingers crossed.
The open Scrabble game was popular today and a crying wee little one played havoc with it. To Michael’s delight, it ended her tears completely. At the end of the day, a woman asked if we had a copy of The Kon-Tiki Expedition, published in English in 1950 by Thor Heyerdahl. After she left the store, I found a copy in the Travel section. Michael tried to find her, but she was gone.
We continue to enjoy fresh baked croissants from Co-op and from the reading window seat in the flat, we like watching people double park in front of it. How they leave the flashers on and the door open rather than park up the road. Today a double-parker’s car alarm was so loud we closed the shop door. Michael plays jazz funk music in the shop and I change it to classical music whenever I can.

What I read in 2020
2020 wasn’t a vintage year for reading. I only finished 66 books – my lowest count in recent years – and I didn’t discover anything startlingly new. But I was pleased that for the second year in a row half the books I read were by women and that I came close to hitting my target of six books in Chinese. I would have hit my Chinese target if I hadn’t started a 600-page book in October, but as that’s already going to be one of the top books of 2021, I’m not too upset about missing that goal.
Upping my Chinese reading was probably part of reason for the low overall count – one page typically takes around 10-15 minutes – though also responsible was over-reading during two weeks in home quarantine in March put me off books for a while.
As usual, I mainly read older books – ones not released in 2020 – and for once the amount of fiction I read comfortably exceeded the non-fiction. Of that fiction the highlights were Lydia Davis’s Collected Stories, Angela Carter’s Heroes and Villains and the second volume of The Plum in the Golden Vase.
Davis’s work is short – often very short (many of her tales are less than a page). Prose poetry? Sometimes, but not always. A lot of playfulness. But also with a power that builds as you keep reading, a few pieces one day, a few more the next, and the one after, and so on. Also her repeated determination to experiment, sometime using traditional forms, sometimes with new ones.
Carter’s book, from the late 1960s, moved through much the same collapsed-society territory as Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood, but far more elegantly and to a more satisfying ending. I didn’t like her fairy stories, but this was tremendous.
The Plum in the Golden Vase, Volume Two: The Rivals – as good as the first volume. Better maybe. The best sprawling novel ever?
Aeschylus’s The Oresteia was another standout – read following last year’s Aeneid and Odyssey after consulting Richard Jenkyns’ excellent Classical Literature (an invaluable source of recommendations about what to read from Greece and Rome). No surprise that Aeschylus’s work has survived two-and-a-half millennia with its poking around matters that still bother human beings (families, states, etc).
Of the various books I read on Hong Kong, Kong Tsung-gan’s Liberate Hong Kong: Stories from the Freedom Struggle was the one I found most satisfying. Partly for its exploration of some of the darker, more violent aspects of 2019’s protests, but most of all for capturing the importance of what happened and so why it will be hard for the forces of repression to succeed in the long run. The only problem with this book is that it now seems to be almost impossible to get hold of.
Of the five books I read in Chinese, my favourite was in Cantonese (and so arguably not in Chinese): 麥花臣金將軍與白龍的對談 by  並明. An extraordinary piece of work, mainly about two young men from Hong Kong in Oxford talking about Hong Kong and philosophy, but also including voluminous footnotes on matters such as why certain characters had been chosen to represent words used in Cantonese that don’t occur in standard Chinese. If you have any interest in Cantonese I would say it’s a must-read – it’s the first time I’ve come across a sustained piece of writing using Cantonese as it’s spoken.
I also enjoyed 像我這樣的一個女子 by 西西 (Xi Xi, A Girl Like Me). I had read a couple of her books in English, and thought they were so-so. Actually, the problem was the translation. In English, her stories look simple; in Chinese, even I can tell that there’s a lot more going on, even if I’m not sure what it is.
What pointed me to Lydia Davis was her translation of Swan’s Way, my third version. My first reading was in 1984, when I thought it was amazing. Then, after reading the first two or three books, I decided to save the rest for some special occasion. That never came, so in the early 2000s, I read those first few books for a second time – again finding them amazing. This time round, however, I was rather less compelled.  I enjoyed it, but didn’t care for it. I’m now thinking I will never get round to finishing the whole thing.

Friday Releases for March 26
Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for March 26 include Nobody, Invincible, It Takes Two, and more.
Nobody
Nobody, the new movie from Ilya Naishuller, is out today.
Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody. When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away.
The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (famed Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
The Vault
The Vault, the new movie from Jaume Balagueró, is out today.
When an engineer learns of a mysterious, impenetrable fortress hidden under The Bank of Spain, he joins a crew of master thieves who plan to steal the legendary lost treasure locked inside while the whole country is distracted by Spain’s World Cup Final. With thousands of soccer fans cheering in the streets, and security forces closing in, the crew have just minutes to pull off the score of a lifetime.
A Week Away
A Week Away, the new movie from Roman White, is out today.
Troubled teen Will Hawkins (Kevin Quinn) has a run-in with the law that puts him at an important crossroad: go to juvenile detention or attend a Christian summer camp. At first a fish-out-of-water, Will opens his heart, discovers love with a camp regular (Bailee Madison), and sense of belonging in the last place he expected to find it.
The Seventh Day
The Seventh Day, the new movie from Justin P. Lange, is out today.
A renowned exorcist who teams up with a rookie priest for his first day of training. As they plunge deeper into hell on earth, the lines between good and evil blur, and their own demons emerge.
Enhanced

A young woman with enhanced abilities finds herself hunted down by a sinister government organization. But when an even stronger enhanced serial killer emerges on the scene, agents and mutants are forced to question their allegiances.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, the new TV series from Steven Brill, Josh Goldsmith, and Cathy Yuspa, is out today.
In present day Minnesota, the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom Alex set out to build their own ragtag team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of competitive youth sports.
The Irregulars
The Irregulars, the new TV series from Tom Bidwell, is out today.

INVINCIBLE is an Amazon Original series based on the groundbreaking comic book from Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead.

The National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica (NDTC) announces with extreme sadness and deep regret, the passing of Jihan Palmer, former dancer with the Company. She transitioned in the early hours of Saturday (April 21) in New York, USA after battling stage four cancer. She was 36 years old.
Artistic Director of the NDTC, Marlon Simms said that the death of Jihan has rattled the entire dance community. “We are all at a loss,” Simms said, continuing, “The immense outpouring of support while she battled cancer and the extent of the tributes now, is testament to the fact that her light was bright, powerful and wide reaching. Jihan fought hard and suffers no more.”
“The NDTC extends heartfelt sympathy to her son Rafael, step-son Anthony, mother Joan Munroe, husband Ryan, brother Jason, and the rest of her family, friends and the entire dance fraternity,” he added.
A free spirit
Born Jihan Aisha Alicia Palmer on June 19, 1981, her love for dance began during her primary education at Saints Peter and Paul Preparatory School and continued when she matriculated to the esteemed Campion College in 1992. She joined The Little People & Teen Players Club in 1994 at the age of 12. There, her natural talent in dance and performance was fostered and she developed into the elegant, passionate and versatile dancer for which she became renowned as an adult.
Cathi Levy, Artistic Director, The Little People & Teen Players Club remembers Jihan fondly: “A bright-eyed, twelve year old Jihan Palmer walked into my life in the early 1990s and spent the better part of five years - through her teens - in The Little People & Teen Players Club (LP &TPC), being introduced to and developing her skills in multiple disciplines within the performing arts. Her gregariousness, talent and passion for the dance drove her success in the LP & TPC, and her unwavering love for her Club-family has cemented a spiritual bond in all our hearts that won’t soon be forgotten. We love and miss you, JiJi. DANCE ON in Heaven, our angel!,” Levy said.
Persistently and fervently seeking her own personal and professional growth, Jihan danced with L’Acadco: a United Caribbean Dance Force for approximately three years while pursuing her Diploma in Dance at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in 2000. She furthered her tertiary education at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Brockport, New York, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in 2001.
Dr. L’Antoinette Stines, founder and artistic director of L’Acadco expressed sorrow at Jihan’s passing. “She was one of the most beautiful dancers that I have ever worked with. Jihan was a spirit dancer. She was technically clean and beautiful when she performed. She was a free spirit that had to fly,” Dr. Stines commented.
Jihan joined the NDTC in 2003. A year later, in 2004, she was recruited by Garth Fagan Dance Company in New York and spent two years performing and touring with the internationally acclaimed company. On her return to the island in 2007, she re-joined the NDTC and danced with the company up until 2008.
A muse
Within the NDTC, Jihan was a sought after muse, working with most major choreographers, performing in dozens of works and touring extensively to the USA, UK, and the Eastern Caribbean.
Described as the consummate dancer with a commanding stage presence, Jihan was coveted for her articulation, focus and sense of purpose. She is especially remembered for her powerful performance in A Prayer, a solo choreographed by Arsenio Andrade Calderon as well as for leading roles in Rex Nettleford’s Drumscore and The King Must Die.
She gave memorable performances in Clive Thompson’s duet Vision and full company work FolkTales, and was a favourite in David Brown’s Labess and Bert Rose’s Steal Away. Additionally, she was a critical cast member in Barre Talk by Oneil Pryce; Incantation and Rhythm de Deux by Haitian choreographer Jean-Guy Saintus; as well as in Chris Walker’s Urban Fissure, Fragile and Of a Passage.
Jihan was not only a celebrated dancer, but a dedicated teacher, lifelong learner and cultural entrepreneur. In 2010, she founded and operated an after school dance programme, Lines Dance Institute in Mandeville, offering a fusion of dance genres including, ballet, tap, modern, jazz and folk. Hundreds of children in the parish benefitted from her tutelage, some of whom achieved gold medals in national dance competitions and gained merit-based scholarships to U.S. institutions.
She ran the programme until 2016 when she moved to New York in to pursue her Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) in Finance and Accounting from the Simon Business School, University of Rochester, New York in 2016.
The mother of two balanced her family life with major professional passions – for dance and finance. In her work life, she served as an MBA Intern at Empire Valuations Consultants in New York; and as a Brand Manager at the Wisynco Group. At the Simon school, Jihan was active in her university community serving as President of the Simon Dance Club; Vice President of Marketing and Communication, Simon Finance and Investment Club; Vice President of Marketing and Communication of the Simon School Venture Fund.
Jihan was also well known for her strong Christian faith and often used her enormous talent in dance to minister the gospel. She volunteered as a mentor with Vessels of Praise, a faith-based organization, which provides an outlet for individuals to express themselves through the performing arts and was a member of the Simon School Christian Fellowship.
In a 2014 quote describing her relationship with dance for the NDTC Journal, Jihan said “I am not bound, rather I flow freely. I ‘flex’ my body so that I can 'releve’ to the heights of perfection. I am a dancer! I create positive space despite the negative space that surrounds me and this love vibrates through each vertebrae when I’m … sharing, moving, feeling, shining…dancing.“
NDTC Principal Dancers Marisa Benain and Kevin Moore, also products of The Little People & Teen Players and close friends of Jihan, described her as a “beautiful soul”.
“Jihan was fearless in all her endeavours and every dream she envisioned. It is a painful loss,” Benain recounts.
“I will never forget all the beautiful memories that we shared. From Little People to NDTC to Garth Fagan Dance… Jihan touched so many aspects of life in such a positive way. I honour her. She was the epitome of a strong black diva. May her soul Rest in Eternal Peace, ” Moore said.
The NDTC says it will pay tribute to Jihan Palmer as part of its 56th Season of Dance at The Little Theatre between July 20 and August 12.
