I must Post for the nth time that I do not receive spontaneous visitors and visitors who, though they previously set appointments, arrive with one or more or a retinue of other people, no matter how fabulous, who are absolute strangers to me. I do not like entertaining, and my house is not a museum.

I do not like meeting new people or "interesting" people. There are enough of those on our compound and in our neighborhood to last me in this particular lifetime.

I resent arrivals especially when I am rearranging the interior of the house, writing, or painting. When I am painting, no one can see my works in progress on my easels until they are varnished and ready for viewing.
