(Yes, I know this is a sausage to fortune)
Today has ended up more or less where it needed to be.
The grand plan was to head to the academic library on the hill around nine, but this was scuppered by a) needing to buy, write and post a birthday card to my big bother, b) needing to fill the prescriptions, c) needed to take advantage of the 3 for the price of 1 Jaffa Cakes offer and d) sleeping in until 8.40.
Naturally then it was not until 11.20 that I was on the Unibus - and 11.30 when it left, after the two buses parked either side had long gone. A diversion to buy a notepad - Tesco not stocking anything appropriate - I was in the Library for noon. I did about three hours - which is more than I've managed there since the start of the academic year - and then went to the Carbuncle to buy a ticket for the Ross Noble interview (one packet of Jaffa cakes later).
Thence via charity shops (and a surprise present for two Midlands parties) to Caffe Nerd and more notetaking.
Back to pick up the prescription and home to finish the index I've been working on. I can now go to the pub with no poof raeding. Two packets down.
Off to Lewes tomorrow. Is there really an 8am train?

Okay, as far as I'm concerned, it's done. There will be stuff to do when the copy editor has buggered around with it, but for now, enough. I have not put journals in alphabetical order in the contributors' bios. Life is too short!
I have moved this project from C:\>Commissions and Publications>In Progress>Books to C:\>Commissions and Publications>Under Consideration or In Press>Books.
That is all.
Tomorrow, I can tidy this desk and office.
(Can you see the next major project, on the shelf to the right? Part of it, anyway)
Reading and bed.

Cut and pasted from the Indy:
Why do book prizes ignore the best reads?
It's the fault of male academics on the judging panels, says author Louise Doughty, one of tonight's Booker judges. They pick the literary and the obscure to impress their colleagues
By Arifa Akbar, arts correspodent
And it's not even the Grauniad
