White Rabbit

Things that please an editor on this first day of October:

• It's 23 degrees in Melbourne.
• Tender Morsels. Our Margo's new novel is out in the big wide world. And we all get to talk about it at our next in-house bookclub.
  
• The American Library Association's Banned Books Week - celebrate the freedom to read.
• When we surveyed the house about what they were reading for our Pile Beside the Bed list, the most common response was: 'Do I have to choose just one?'
• The improvements to track changes in the new Microsoft Word.
  

Things that don't please an editor on this first day of October:

• Footlet socks designed for the stylish low-cut shoe.
  THEY DON'T STAY ON.
• Repaired boot zips that stick.
• No voicemail and a phone that won't accept calls.
• Not having the new Microsoft Word.
