I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long

Autumnal here. No heating on just yet but as night time temperatures drop and family grumbles surface, it's just a matter of time. I'll keep it from Matt of course, no need to upset him unnecessarily. Hope your weekend was a good one. Had a top wedding to attend and loads of reading to do (I toyed with the idea of taking a book to the wedding just in case, but decided that was unwise).
One of the books in question was Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory, a big, sprawling saga about the Telemachus family. They were famed for their magic and mind reading act; they were TV darlings. Then there's a fall from grace and we pick up the story 2 decades later as this most extraordinary family are trying to piece their act together again. You can read a chapter here and then listen to Daryl at 6.
And as autumn is with us, it's high time for some AUTUMNAL oldies. Songs for autumn please and all will be golden from 5.
