The weekend started with a cool beer with on the way home from work on Friday. Sweltering hot weekend has basically been spent reading Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun and Olivia Manning’s Balkan Trilogy. The children have all been avidly watching a new show called Boohbah, made by the makers of Teletubbies. It is no exaggeration to say that Boohbah makes the Teletubbies look like Bertold Brecht.
