Looking for my golden fleece

Coffee house, early frosty departure. All the slackers can play catch up, the snoozers can repent at will. I'm at the coal face, the front line, the vanguard. Actually I'm watching a movie of some kind with a coffee and comfy seat but you get the gist...

Sunny and freezing here and so I'm probably the only one pining for wet and mild but that's the way it is; I'm an oppressed minority. Robert Peston, today's guest, has taken to wearing coats with (fake) fur trim and I'm not at all sure about that. He looks a wow of course but I'm not sure I could get away with it. He's just back from China where, in his final flurry as a BBC man, has done a fascinating documentary about the state of the Chinsese economy. It isn't a reassuring watch! But what happens in China rolls over here pretty fast so listen up tonight with Pesto.

And CHINESE oldies works for me comrade. There's probably a more nuanced don't-believe-the-growth-figures theme but I think we'll stick with Chinese.

Meantime some of us have real hard work to go to....
