My erudite classicist daughter tells me that the Arctic is so called because there are bears there; ‘Arktos’ being the Greek for bear. ‘Antarctic’ means ‘no bears’, she says.

Rusty has a new outfit for her upcoming renewed social life. Her Liberty blouse has puffed sleeves. The blouse is nice and long so it doesn't come untucked when dancing. The dungarees are more tailored than her previous ones.
