My friend managed to get genuine bits of foyer - Canberra York gray granite and San Fransisco green granite - from the case of Tabcorp Holdings Ltd v Bowen Investments Pty Ltd [2009] HCA 8, (2009) 236 CLR 272. No wonder Mrs Bergamin was so shocked and dismayed.

Awesome trip to Boston to present at Harvard for Obligations XI on “How the Institutional Revolution Shaped Common Law Remedies for Breach of Contract”. Great to see old friends and meet new ones. Now home safely.

Extremely proud of the book chapter I co-authored with @markbennettnz on Asset Protection Trusts in the Cook Islands, in which we undertook empirical research on the topic. It’s a chapter in this newly released book, which I commend to you. www.bloomsbury.com/au/asiapacif...

I just came up with an excellent collective noun: “She discovered she had an embarrassment of adoring swains.” (Not speaking about myself personally, I should hasten to add…)

If I wrote a sitcom of my life, no one would believe it. In my fiction, I wrote a dirge, sung by a eunuch in a totally made up funeral rite. Someone emailed my co-collaborator and I to say that they really loved the dirge and actually used it in a real funeral.

In the morning light, fine threads glisten.
Tiny spiders have joined the cumquat tree with the rosemary.
Back and forth, the garden chairs are knit with tens of shining strands.
One tiny spider dared to leap from the washing line to the sage bush.
A leap of faith, weaving the world together.

Oh SHOOT, no, I am so sorry to hear this. (I don’t use social media as much as I did). I am so glad she is okay. I am fond of her - she reminds me of my first dog.

Thank you so much. Please do write more, and tell me if you do! I mean to write more on this specific topic myself; it is simply a matter of getting the time to finish what I’ve written so far.

I also grew up with the book and then the radio adaptation, which I absolutely loved too. The films are fun - but not like the books. Nothing can be like the books.
