*hugs Peg and sends a carton of anti-bruise cream*
I am glad that the combination of pho, Heyer and Dickens helped cheer you, but belated hugs in general as well. Although my absolute favourite Dickens are the later ones (darker, even better characterisation, and the same uplifting quality), Nicholas Nickleby is a worthwhile read, though, as with all Dickens, very LONG. If you have not read it, could I recommend Our Mutual Friend, with one of the best female characters in Dickens (so many of his disappoint). Hope your leg recovers quickly, and that you are able to make some of those changes to free up some more writing time. All the best.
