Whenever I used to get fed up in the old days I'd get my copy down and read a few chapters. it always cheered me up. That and " The Good Soldier Schwiek " by Jaroslav Hasek.

I'm not sure I should say this but I finished it and even tried Finnegans Wake Milo O'Shea was good as Bloom though.

Really good Thanks! https://medium.com/epic-magazine/pipino-gentleman-thief-ede9713dafb1

This Friday I’m participating in a naked winter solstice charity swim to raise money for a cancer charity. It will be in a lake in the centre of the city. I’ve raised quite a bit of money so far which I’m quite happy about. The weather forecast says it will be -3 degrees when I dive in totally starkers with up to 100 other naked fools. And no, I’ve never done this type of fitness before. I figure it will raise a bunch of money that otherwise would not be raised, so I’m happy to get my kit off to raise some money for those who are really suffering.

I'm looking forward to the TV version of " Catch 22 " this week. It's got to be better than the film they made" The series on Mrs Thatcher has been good although I couldn't bring myself to watch the episode covering The Miners Strike. This week it's the last episode dealing with her downfall so that'll put a smile on my face. The bottom line is she was every bit as awful as we thought she was.

I feel like I have already watched the new series of top gear 10x already - as the bbc seem to do nothing but plug and promote the guffawing childish traits of the new presenters

I don't linger in nor long for, the past and the last thing I'd want would be a remake but I would love programmes like this to be made now
