Embarrassingly, I have read this before but had (have) no memory of this until I said to P. ‘If I was still on speaking terms with [a relative who plays the cello], I would recommend it to her’. The riposte was ‘That’s exactly what you said when you read it before’ (see no.634!).
It is weird; normally if you inadvertently start a book you have read before, bits of memory pop up in one’s brain, but not this time. I think what I wrote at the time (no.634) covers it better than I could say today; maybe the brain is deteriorating?
