		<description><![CDATA[Some years ago, my good friend Sean Novak told me something along the lines of: &#8220;If only you spoke as well as you wrote, you could rule the world.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know about the world domination bit, but the observation that a rift exists between my spoken and written selves is sharply true.

		<description><![CDATA[I caught the family cold last Friday, and spent the weekend convalescing in the company of James Bond, Jane Austen and The Simpsons (the latter at the influence of my boyfriend&#8217;s 15-year-old sister).
