Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

This is a marvellous read about a subject I really enjoy - sleep! Rather than being a book about sleep problems, it's about how enjoyable it is. It's very funny in places and has a great range of subjects, from stories about sleep, history, mythology, art and science. You can jump from place to place and it's very dippable, with lots of short items. It reminds in a way of the Eats, Shoots and Leaves book, which was about punctuation, but was interesting in its own right, even if you weren't obsessed with punctuation. It has a very engaging "feel" to it, and I think it is going to be a handy book for presents.
