Sorry you had to go straight home from Mex, in such a tizzy. I had heard a little of it from Jane, but not about Bill Smith. She said the landlord had gotten after "the girls." (Your harem, I assume) Anyway, I hope you'll get it straightened out OK.
Thank God, I'm not a "landlady" any more (most hated class on earth!) and never will be again. It's worth paying exorbitant taxes & utility bills on an empty house just not to have tenants (who are actually the lowest lice alive!) It looks like I'll die owning the Altadena house & someone else will inherit the problem. But I inherited quite a few problems myself so why not pass it along?
We had a hot spell ove the Mem. Day weekend (good for the working classes both here & in Moscow) but it's now cooling off.
With love from all
Virgine
Had my new little coal-black cat (she looks like a seal) spayed. She's recovering O.K and where have all the tom cats gone?
