Oh hey, is that you? It's another rambling message from me here. Balmy lovely Monday morning too. Caribbean air apparently so enjoy whilst it's here! Who needs an exotic half term trip away when the warm winds come here for free?

Hope your weekend was fun-filled and fabulous, now for a fit week to work it all off.

Starting with a book club Monday and A Gentleman in Moscow by the splendidly named Amor Towles. It's 1922 and Count Rostov has been summoned to appear before a Bolshevik court that sentenced to house arrest in the swanky Metropol hotel, where he stays for 30 years! It's charming, elegant and witty and you can read some here. Amor after 6.

And BLUE PLANET oldies please as the BBC's award winning series is set to return this autumn, 16 years after the first. Blue Planet 2 has taken 4 years to make and we're promised underwater volcanoes, the hairy chested Hoff crab and and snub-fin dolphins. Looking forward to that already!
