Willow Manor Ball.

The moon is rising, the autumn apples decorate the trees. It's time to dress up and go to Willow's ball.
Who shall I take for a partner? I had thought of inviting Inspector Montalbano but it would be hard to drag him away from the supper table and when I want to dance he might sulk. And also, his phone is always ringing and he would abandon me in order to solve a case or bed another woman. It requires careful thought because some dance partners can be dreadful show-offs.

I've heard that Stephen Marchant is looking for a partner and can dance.... but there's dancing...and dancing.

Perhaps I'd be better on my own.

Although it's so much more fun with two.

 I'll play safe and take Himself.

Thank you, Willow, for the invitation.
