Get up, get out, get out of here

Early hours of Monday, too little sleep, too much driving, too little tv, too much ironing, too little time out, too much time pressed up against strangers in public places (tube travel in case you were wondering). Gave a talk, had a curry, attended a birthday lunch, cursed the roadworks (in spite of learning about the last week) and then, finally, managed some more time with our Book Club book. This is Need to Know by Karen Cleveland and she is on the show today-read a sample right here! This a compulsive, page-turning, spy thriller from a woman who clearly knows what she is talking about. Karen was a CIA analyst, so when she writes of Vivian, her lead character here and also a CIA analyst who uncovers a Russian spy ring that includes her her husband, you are gripped! Karen is here from 6.

And elsewhere, its National Sickie Day! The first Monday in February is, apparently, the day when more employees try to get the day off than any other. A NATIONAL SICKIE DAY playlist would be a lovely thing.
