I’m appearing (in a somewhat odd context) on Radio 4’s 40th Birthday programme at the weekend. It’s followed by a comedy special with Radio 4 regular Stephen Fry and Matt Lucas (Little Britain was on Radio 4 before TV).

Rufus
A big thank you to Laurence for converting me to the excellent Rufus Wainwright. I’ve just downloaded the album Want One and it’s sublimely brilliant. Here’s one of the lyrics –
Vibrate
My phone’s on vibrate for you.
Electroclash is karaoke too.
I try to dance Britney Spears.
I guess I’m getting on in years.
My phone’s on vibrate for you.
God knows what all these new drugs do.

But still I always end up in tears.
My phone’s on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you.

So call me,
Call me the morning, call me in the night.
So call me,
Call me anytime you like.
My phone’s on vibrate
For you, for you.

one of the book rooms
I’m a big fan of Hertford’s Gillmark Gallery which sells old maps, prints, books and postcards in various quaint and higgledypiggledy rooms. It’s at 25 Parliament Square.
And it’s good news that we’re getting a new independent bookshop in October. Books@Hertford will be on Railway Street and will have a resident border collie.
