A great title for a book, no wonder the rock band nicked it. I think it was expecting a dual nature novel along the lines of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, but it was much more earnest than that, a story of a man who takes himself and life far, far too seriously. at the very end he says 'One day I would play the game of many figures better. One day I would learn to laugh.' By gum, that's glum. Libby cycled home from school by herself today for the first time. I was a bit of an over-worried Dad so went down to the canal to make sure she got over Chobham Road safely, but she was fine of course. She's a good girl, she still comes along to Cubs every week to help out even though she is in Scouts now. She loves being in authority and helping out adults, she will be a great teacher, copper or government snitch one day.
