Day 1618

Pressed on with the diss - 13,300 words. Bright, cool September weather.

Went round to M's at 9pm, had a long and humourous conversation about everything. E kept joking about dancing with me at the reception.
I told M I only was diffident about being bridesmaid in case she didn't pick me. She was annoyed and said she would've picked me otherwise. That'll teach me.

Home through the cool air. Beautiful view of the stars in cold polar airstream, including the Milky Way in the vicinity of Cassiopeia, υ¹ and υ² Cass. (5th. mag) clearly separable, the Pleiades, and a shooting star across Cassiopeia. (Made a wish). Enough to make one 'drunk with distance and expanse'.
