Some very light rain earlier this morning, grey and damp. Mr. N had to go in to the office, so it is NICE AND QUIET right now. Doing a few housely things, thinking about fic.

In the meantime, via the Guardian, here is some absolutely awesome envelope art -- letters sent to the childrens' book publisher Klaus Flugge (in London) from various book illustrators, adorned with charming and delightful little artworks on the backs of the envelopes. I particularly liked the Napoleonic mouse, the bed of clouds, and the field boy. They're all wonderful, though.

Also, on a fannish note, many thanks to lucille888 on Twitter for passing along this Playbill article containing a small photo gallery of scenes from Born Yesterday. There's some nice ones of RSL there, in his 1947-era clunky geek reporter's glasses. :-D
