I am currently about half way through ‘The Architect’s Apprentice’ by Elif Şafak, and am thoroughly enjoying it. Would make an absolutely perfect Christmas holiday read, in my opinion.

DOUGIE’S TUESDAY TIP
Take a scliff (for that is what it is called) of the Christmas Terry’s dark chocolate Orange each time you open the fridge door, then carefully rebuild the foil structure within the box to leave no trace of the theft. Replace Orange once a week until Christmas.

Just a reminder for those at the BBC today that it’s not actually a coup unless it comes from the Coup D'État region of France. If not, I’m afraid it’s just a sparkling unlawful seizure of power.
