Readings off-blob 280816

Last Sunday in August. I'm back to work on 1st September. There may be less time for idle reading - but then again there may not. ANNyway, here's some idle, but not easy, reading.

• Diary of an apprentice light-house keeper.
• TMI on TSE: a review of an annotation of the poems of TS Eliot.
• The Eternal Saki in a new children's edition.

And IF you're going to wimp out - please don't make me read, it's Sunday, I'm exhausted, I can't multi-task and I need breakfast THEN you're going to have to listen to:

• Chris Hayes talks to Tommy Kelly about makin' chairs - quiet,profound, timeless (well, just over 5 minutes actually).
