READER: Ahoy there Grumpy! I hope the election result has put you in a better mood…
MYSELF: Indeed it has. Its the kind of result that makes you want to roll in dung, lie face down on a tea towel and flog it on Ebay as the Turin Shroud. How about you?
READER: Well actually Mrs Reader and I are off to Spain for a fortnight just as soon as we’ve got our vaccination passports, visas and internationally recognised leisure permits, so I was wondering if you could recommend a good holiday read? I’m a devil for my books I am.
