Gee, this is swell

Well that was that. How was it for you? Spent most of the weekend reading the new Dan Brown book (he's on the show tomorrow) and another mystery book that I can't tell you I have apparently. Even if I did actually leave it in a shop last week and had to dash back, only to find it untouched by the self service tills. Panic over, embarrassment continuing...

My other exhausting activity was following child 1 in the Chicago marathon as he tried to crack the 3 hour barrier. Most marathons have apps allowing you to follow a number of runners and, mile by mile, you follow a blob around the street grids until you feel you're running it yourself (almost). Anyway, 3hours and 1 minute and 1 second later we collapsed on the sofa and had more apple crumble (and custard and ice cream).

Today we find top comic Jason Manford in the studio with an album of show tunes under his arm. He'll tell you more after 6. And it's Libraries week all week! Hooray for libraries and librarians everywhere and hurrah for everything they provide (including WiFi). So songs for LIBRARIES AND LIBRARIANS if you wouldn't mind...
