Annie do you croquet, do you croquet, Annie?

It's Normal People for pensioners (sort of)!

When 70-somethings June ("she's the grass that needs cutting. She's yesterday's eyeliner today") and Ray ("he's one of his GP's best patients") meet, we get Andrew Meehan's charming, subversive, off-kilter story of late love, Best Friends.

I loved it.

While we wait for him to write anything else half as good ever again, we can always reread Edward St Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novels in this fat new Everyman one-volume hardback edition. Out in November.

“The Spoiled Heart reads like several books in one, each not competing with but supporting the others. If it doesn’t get Sahota on the Booker longlist again, I’ll be very disappointed.”

Me on Sunjeev Sahota’s terrific new novel:

@TommyShakes Have preordered ’The Ha-Ha’ from @Waterstones - Looks a fun read.

24. To finish, then, back to my beloved Scandis for something calm and ethereally beautiful: 19th/20th Century Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén’s ‘Julsång’. Too gorgeous for words.

Have the loveliest Christmas. Thanks for your company.
