I've done so much work today, I actually feel spiritually stripped down. Nonetheless, at lunchtime I picked up the first proof of The Fire Sermon (which looked great) and this evening, I slightly rewrote, redrew, moved and rewrote again until I can honestly say, I can do no more with it. The final will be shipped off tomorrow and we'll see what happens.

With the high street bookstores fll of the same generic tat that they were pimping a year or so ago, I've taken to scouring second hand bookstores and charity shops in search of something half decent to read. I found a real gem today: The Compleet Molesworth (Willans & Searle) which collects the four classics Down With Skool, How To Be Topp, Whizz For Atomms and Back in the Jug Agane. Originally published in 1958, my school pal Chalky and I pored over them like they were still relevant in the 80s... and hey, 50 years later and for 50 pence I can vouch that they're still as funny as I thought they were the first time. Check them out...

Tomorrow, work begins on We Three Kings - which I'm also excited about. It's another killer just waiting to be let out into the cold light of day.

That's enough for now. I appear to have come by a copy of Angels & Demons that needs watching.
