Not an espionage thriller, this was a tale of a middle-aged man and his relationships with others. It was at its best when describing the social niceties and descriptions of 60s England, but it still jars with me that people who went to elite public schools, are fabulously wealthy, have aristocratic connections and their own ski lodges are described as 'middle-class'. David Cameron and Boris Johnson are often described as middle-class, when they are the elite of the elite. Grr. Outside of books, I did the GSR yesterday and made it round despite a bit of a cold. I dosed myself up but am feeling the after effects today. Just a week until we go on a little holiday to Wales so lots to do.
