It’s been a very busy week here at Le Ch\u00e2teau De La Folie. Nothing that would make a good story, though: lots of extra hours of work for me (and indeed, there are developments at work that I am not best pleased with; nothing serious, just annoying), and lots of parent stuff that needed doing around the house. Oh, and of course there was poker night, and there was that whole “blowing off Jonathan Lethem<\/a>” thing.<\/p>\n
