The Independent suggests 10 different scented candles as Christmas presents. Just in case anyone is thinking of buying me a candle for Christmas, here is a selection of books that I’d much rather have.
Wild Rose by John Lewis, “It needs to burn for a while to get a strong smell going…” £5
OR
Why Look at Animals? by John Berger, “Everywhere animals disappear. In zoos they constitute the living monument to their own disappearance…” £4.99

Poor Jenni Murray had a dentistry problem, which my mother said was a good thing as it made me sound more normal.
It’s been a while since I won a ham on the Christmas Chocolate Wheel in Maclean, NSW.
Winning the John Llewllyn Rhys Prize last night brings back happy memories.
Thanks to everyone who came and made it amazing.
