Being well enough to wander into town for a belated birthday book binge, I easily managed to find 8 new paperbacks at Waterstones (previously known as Waterstone’s). OK, so 8 new books is rather excessive, but hey, it was a big birthday.

The afternoon was rounded off with a couple of glasses of Merlot, with the lad, at a pub. Perfect.

Have your say! (No need for any ID!)
