There's been a guy I keep bumping into at various child related events over the last six months. On "Hiya, how are you" / "see you later mate" terms. No idea of his name or where I know him from. Saw him again today and finally placed him. Feel like a weight has lifted from my shoulders.

Voicemail Message Leavers! Once again! The important thing is your phone number. Just the phone number. Not how you've got round to calling me, not what you did before calling me, not what you might do next. Not how your dog is doing or what your lunch might be. Just the number. Twice. Slowly. Ta!

In lace country, around Nottingham, there are only a handful of people left who know how to operate machines that have run since the 1800s. Soon there will be none

An extraordinary novel to finish the year with. Brilliant, evocative, so telling about Brexit and what our society was and has become.

This is very good. And also: I'd totally forgotten the National Service policy. What a time to be alive.
