"Renegade, The Lives and Tales of Mark E Smith". Brilliant, humorous, cruel and honest!

Books for Burning: Between civil war and democracy in 1970s Italy - Antonio Negri.

Complex, Marxist-theory rammed collection of polemical pamphlets from Europe's leading political philosopher.

Can't wait for: Commonwealth (coming out in Oct. 2009)Michael Hardt, Toni Negri


www.hup.harvard.edu - Harvard University Press: Commonwealth by Michael Hardt

Dorothy Dunnett's 'House of Niccolo' series - really recommend her if you like historical fiction and don't mind having to work at it. Sadly out of print here but you can get lovely US paperbacks from Amazon.com.


Start with The Lymond Chronicles, though - here's why: reasons to read Dorothy Dunnett

I'm reading 'Guilty Pleasures' by Tasmina Perry, which is fab. It has lots of conspiracies, shopping, brilliant young entrepreneurs making unlikely profits off the back of thin ideas, glamorous locations, sex, family feuds, attempted murder, true love, and more sex and shopping.


What do you mean, I'm the only person in ED that reads trash? How dare you.

> Scarpetta


Was this any good MP? Patricia Cornwell lost me some time ago, I liked the first three or four Scarpetta novels, but got irritated by the inane dialogue in the later ones. And as for that sodding niece of hers...

    • I bought a carpet swiper few years ago and it’s a game changer, mostly on the rug, couple of minutes in the morning during the week, cleans all the crumbs , pet hair etc. 
    • I totally recommend Aria and AFE plumbing. He managed the renovation of a bathroom and refurbishment of a kitchen. He also helped with other smaller jobs around the flat. He was conscientious, communicated every step of the way, was helpful and did a great job. His team are nice people - which always makes a difference - and really  detailed in their work. They worked hard and the result was great. Aria is on 07739 734895. 
    • I’ve been thinking about how different people manage their homes, especially when life is busy and there never seems to be enough time. Some do a little each day, some blitz at weekends, and some just tackle things when they can’t stand it anymore!   Here are 3 things I’ve noticed help a lot:   1. Start with one reset: Choose a single room (often kitchen or bathroom) and get it back to baseline.     2. Keep a simple kit: Just a handful of reliable products and cloths make it easier to get started.     3. Mini resets: 10–15 minutes daily stops everything from sliding back.       Personally, in my own home I do a quick evening routine — tidy up, hoover, flat mop (it’s quick and easy), a room spray, and fabric freshener. Then at the weekend I’ll do a deeper clean.   I’m curious — what works for you? Do you have any routines, hacks, or tricks that help you keep on top of your home?   I’m always looking for ways to grow and develop the services I run. My aim is to support busy, overwhelmed people who need a practical helping hand. My passion is creating supportive space resets that genuinely make homes feel lighter and calmer, and my goal is to keep building that here in our community.
    • Hope the kids are all okay.  What did the bag look like?  what did you do with it after they’d all had a dab?
