Mrs Plug is away at her Mother's side, who is recovering from a foot operation. I had a logistical challenge, ensuring that work and the subsequent Ballet session were all taken care of, with various outfit issues. I was able to spend a pleasant 3/4 of an hour outside ballet reading, and finishing Emma Kennedy's book about her trip to the States...It was a funny and heartwarming book, and was one of those that left me sad when I finished it....What next? Well, as if by magic, I happened upon the Frankie Boyle book in the charity shop on the way back from Ballet, as well as a book of soup recipes! I struggle a little with Mr Boyle, in the main because of his disabled jokes, but prior to that, I really rather enjoyed his humour. I shall report back on this one. Richard Herring has a lovely phrase about humour, and attacks. He says it's always ok as long as you are punching upwards, and I think i agree with this....Frankie Boyle was guilty of punching down a little, and he was rightly castigated....But everyone deserves another chance I suppose.
