By some miracle I managed to not only be out of the house by 8, but persuade Graham to come with me.

Spent the morning in Reading with Ma - coffee, cake and bargain books. Oh, and sneering disapprovingly at the teenage girls (some were actually grown women - even worse) who were squealing excitedly in Waterstones about the arrival of some Made in Chelsea monstrosity woman.

Left about midday, weighed down by many books (and some new pillows). Ended up on a bus which broke down in the city centre, finally got home to find Jon pyjama-d and covered in glitter from his escapades last night.


Tonight: potatoes and Moonrise Kingdom.
