Ann and Pip, then come home, try to grab some sleep and start reading 
on Saturday morning. I just hope I can drive my car back without 
speeding ! i shall curl up on my bed probably.

I'm sure I'll have to start reading before I get to sleep, but I'll 
need *some* sleep because I'm too old and weary to do the staying-up-
all-night thing.  Saturday morning I'll still be in London so I'm 
sure I'll be reading with Pip (with whom I'm staying) and then I'll 
have a long train ride back home, a perfect time and place for 
reading (provided I don't fall asleep and wake up in Exeter).  Once 
home I'll be ignoring the kids <g> and reading curled up on the couch.

It's already been a busy week (in fact I must dash off now) so I'm 
going to completely exhausted next week.  Worth it?  You bet. :)
