It's almost time...

Sorry I didn't get you a card, but this is better anyway. Happy Whatever You Celebrate! Unless you don't celebrate anything, in which case, fair play to ye. Hope you have another excuse to get temporarily lazy at some point in the year.

Merry Christmas

I'd like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holiday. It's unlikely that I'll update the blog much in the next week or two, but it'll be full steam ahead again in January.

Just so you know, Ian Sansom will be on Radio 4 tomorrow at 4PM. I'll more than likely tune in while I'm slicing and dicing meat and veg in the kitchen. You should too.

Also, the fourth in Sansom's Mobile Library series, titled The Bad Book Affair, will hit the shelves in January. Track down a copy ASAP.

That's all for now, folks, but no doubt you can look forward to a more schmaltzy post closer to the new year. Right now, I fancy a bite to eat and a stiff drink.
