This week has been

eventful. Another Bank Holiday at the start. The purchase of a suit for interviews. A trip to Quaritch to see their exhibition of Pushkin first editions. A Frankenstein-style construction of one working PC from two wrecked ones at work. And a Greek meal with my brother, sister-in-law and 7-month old niece. And I have to work this weekend. At least I am looking for books about simulacra in Soviet society. A thankless task, but someone has to do it. At this rate I will have written enough for a PhD before even starting it.
