Don't all ring at once

Today, the five people I needed to hear from all contacted me - when I was at a meeting. Typical. But it's all sorted now. Feel much better about the world. Competent even.

This morning I finished a really charming book called The Thief Taker by Janet Gleeson. It's set in London in 1750. The central character is a cook in a household of wealthy tradesmen. It's a nicely plotted detective story with lots of period detail and well written enough to make it impossible to put down last night. And I see she's written two other books. Hurrah!! I must go and look for them.
