Henning Mankell, The Pyramid



A Wallander prequel and yet more Scandinavian noir. After reading Forshaw, I've a wishlist on Amazon full of dark brooding authors with unpronounceable names and a mystifying support for Tottenham Hotspur (that may be just
Jo Nesbø though, for all I know Arnaldur Indridason or Camilla Lackberg could be Charlton Athletic diehards).  Ken Branagh's Wallander has just started again, and I'm badgering Helen to go to Scania for our next holiday. Fred has a settling in day at school today and H is going to see if we can skip the first week in September when he goes in for just 2 hours a day. Then we can get a cheaper holiday. How disgraceful of us. We're only just back from 2 weeks in Cornwall in the wettest June of all time, but I didn’t get enough sandcastle time and need more.
I've had to stop running for the past few weeks as my knees are absolutely shot. I think it's because of carrying heavy, heavy children for prolonged periods of time on holiday. I had to skip the London 10K yesterday because of it. I really hope this isn't permanent damage as I'd hate to have to give up running. I may have to go and see the doctor. . .
