Winding wool

On Tuesday nights there is absolutely nothing I want to see on the tv. Yet on some nights all  unmissable programmes happen at 9pm so you are forced to decide between them. As someone who has never mastered the art of recording programmes it's either feast or famine. So last night I tore out magazine pages and made a zillion bags for the shop. But tonight, Wednesday I am looking forward to catching up with 'A Child of Our Time'. Have you seen that? Twenty-five children representing a cross section of the population are regularly filmed since their births in the year 2000 by the BBC. It's fascinating to follow their lives.

I love to read and having just finished Starter for Ten (it's so funny) by David Nicholls for the second time I am looking round for a new book. What do you recommend?
