That was cheaper than a card.
Cultural highlights of the past week:
1. Brick memories. While listening to Nev Clay performing in the Head of Steam, an enormously enthusiastic fan so irritated somebody that they muttered 'anyone got a brick?' This brought a flush of pride to my face because it reminded me that I was declared the queen of lateral thinking (unofficial title) at school for being able to come up with the most uses for a brick. I had not had 'stove somebody's head in to stop them shouting out excitedly' on my list but I still won. The activity was posed in careers week. I am still looking for a job finding alternative uses for the brick so if anyone knows of any openings...
2. Seven Stories. I visited this children's literature centre where I was delighted to see genuine manuscripts of genuine books I genuinely read when I was a genuine child. Danny Champion of the World! Yippee! Etc. There was a quite touching exhibition about Allan and Janet Ahlberg. I particularly enjoyed a video of Allan doing keepie ups in his back garden. Of all the children's authors alive today, he is surely the best at keepie ups. I was also excited to see a bit of Harry Potter manuscript. It featured lots of crossings out and some kind of greeny smudge which was either a snot or some kind of terribly sophisticated, exotic, spilt foodstuff. Like avocado.
