I don’t have any book-related material for Ujima tomorrow, but Paulette wants me in the studio anyway. We are apparently discussing some major changes to the provision of legal aid in the UK, and as I have a good friend who understand this stuff (thanks Marjorie!) I can make myself useful. Also an old lady died yesterday. I guess most of you kids won’t have heard of Margaret Thatcher, but Paulette and I remember her and will be reliving the horror for the benefit of people who don’t know what all the fuss is about.

I’ll be staying in Bristol in the evening for the Mandy James book launch at Foyles. There should be wine, and chocolate. Hopefully I’ll see one or two of you there.

Assuming no other major news stories, Shout Out will be running my interview with Patrick Ness on tomorrow’s show. It’s only about 5 minutes and I have no idea when they’ll slot it in. I’ll point you at the podcast with timings once it is up.
