Loved chatting with Brian Redmond on KCLR 96FM just now about Diary of a Wimpy Dad. Brian has such great energy and pace it was like chatting with a mate I haven't seen in years who had to run for a bus. In s good way! OMahonys Booksellers Alan Hanna's Bookshop Eason bookstationireland

Not a great day. Bad sleep last night. Feeling cold. Didn't say any of the things I wanted to say the way I wanted to say them. Dinner didn't work out. Meh. Ugh.

There's a great playlist in Sp****y called Hard Bop Classics -superbly soothing for the distracted mind. All the hate, ghosters and ghosts evaporate like cobwebs above a burning torch next to No 1 Green Street / Rudy Van Gelder Edition (Remastered 2002). My go to at cooking time.
