One Hand Clapping

One Hand Clapping - Anthony Burgess

This all seems quite appropriate given the date and the expected weather.

But then, with this very bad rainy weather, I thought how nice it would be if we could be together all the time, with the door locked and good fires going in both downstairs rooms, like Christmas, and all the people at work in the outside world while we listened to Music While You Work and then Mrs Dale's Diary with the sleet lashing away at the windows and everything warm and cosy within.
