The Bookman on a London bookshop crawl
This very fine bookshop just off the Kings Road was the first of seven visited on my first day here.
Now Tuesday and there is a glimpse of sun, hooray, has been very dull and damp since I arrived Sunday.
Tonight the Man Booker Prize Gala Dinner.............................

I was already extremely impressed that you were prepared to make the terrible journey from Auckland to London just to attend the Booker announcement, and now to hear that you are in good enough shape to visit seven bookshops on your first day is just awe-inspiring. We are proud to have you here in the UK and I will be cheering for Eleanor Catton.
