Since I’ve not done this for a few weeks, here’s a Random Friday posting. This is what happens. I go to random.org, and get a random number between 1 and 1680. These numbers correlate to the books in my library on LibraryThing. I then match the random number to the relevant book in my library, [...]

It seems to me to be the perfect sort of day for curling up in front of the fire with a good book. Go carefully in that snow, everyone.

From 22-28 June, Al Kitching will be taking part in a survival course in Devon to raise money for [...]
This might actually be the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. My office-mate, who is from New York, tells me this is well-known in America, but I’ve never heard of it before.
I kind of love it though. Chaaaaaaaarrrr-leeee…..
At the end of last year, the good people of Faber and Faber sent me a beautiful 2009 diary, which I have been using religiously ever since. I would be lost without it.
Throughout the diary are lots of pictures of original book covers, poems, and quotations from Faber books. This week’s quotation is from Alan [...]
Here’s the main quad at work, covered in the white fluffy stuff. Very pretty.
Apologies for the radio silence people. It’s been a bit of an odd week. Normal service will resume shortly (when I am less like the above kitteh).
