The sequel to my unexpectedly romantic return to the world of full-strength coffee will soon be forthcoming. In the meantime, in a typically elegant bit of blog maintenance, I’ve managed to delete the original post, and although it has been recovered and re-posted, all your immoderately sympathetic comments are lost. Mea maxima culpa.

As penance, I will actually tell the truth in the coming conclusion to I like your trousers.
