John Donne

We've just been to a really interesting book event. John Stubbs was being interviewed about his new book, "John Donne: A Reformed Soul". Since H and I both love Donne's poetry, it was a good event to go to. Very informative, and the author, who is only in his late 20s, was very enthusiastic and good-humoured. It was a shame we didn't manage to speak to him before he left.

Having had an enjoyable evening, we rounded it off with a visit to Brick Lane. Partly because we've had the builders in all day, so therefore haven't eaten much, and now we've been left without a sink and hobs. They're back tomorrow, apparently at 8am. I'll believe it when I see it. Really hope they come and finish it quickly so we can get out to Covent Garden for the afternoon. After going to church for Ash Wednesday.
