I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

It's always been like this. I've had bikes (yes that bikes plural) stolen from railway stations in the past, at least 30 years ago. The police didn't care then and they don't care now.

I've liked Dick Gaughan for a long time, but I don't have many of his albums. That's about to change because I'm supporting the Kickstarter campaign to release an eight-disc boxed set of his music. If you'd like a copy, don't wait because they are going fast. www.kickstarter.com/projects/212...
