Another month has whizzed past. The sun hasn’t shone as much, but it is still hot and humid at the moment. We are going to Jersey in the next month so I have been sorting out a big pile of books to take with me for that. You know the drill, this is a frankly disturbingly long list and I am not going to read all of them, but it does give me the option to pick and choose.
