But Hart won me over with his ridicule of unnecessary use of exclamation marks

Coldwater swimming after about 2 hours sleep isn't a good idea - but then there's this view - and breakfast with some of the best people

Just about to start The Mussel Feast by Birgit Vanderbeke - a modern German classic apparently
Reading it for our December book club - although it is also our Christmas party so we may be distracted by a feast of our own...

Wednesday's dip - raining when I arrived, snowing when I left
Shame to have just missed the chance of a snow swim by about an hour

I have a new favourite place...
Got out of the office today for a look around the Old Vic's new education/events/cafe space Backstage
Everything about it is brilliant, but especially the script library. I will be back

Very excited already - although September is a long way off

Just started Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout, who has quietly become one of my favourite authors.
Look forward to curling up with this later, once Monday is done
