Listening to…
Amy Winehouse (fabulous, and made me dig out my old Etta James cassette – yes, I said cassette, which just shows you how old it is. And that was a reissue.)
Cat Empire (still not sure whether or not I love it)

Reading…
Geraldine Brooks’ new novel, The People of the Book. It’s not as brilliant as March nor as compelling as The Year of Wonders. The voices aren’t as strong, and they are, after all, her forte. But she’s still my current hero.
(Next up, Anne Enright’s The Gathering)

Writing…
A little. Not enough.

Eating…
A gazillion tomatoes from the garden. Best ever.
