Some odds and ends

The poet Rosy Carrick, a good friend of mine, now has a weblog at http://rosycarrick.blogspot.com/. Her latest post includes a poem and gossip about our poet laureate.
I'm going to be reading at the next Sparks night, which is now on December 7th. Some of the previous readings are available on video via this page. I'll give more details nearer the time.
I've still not manage to memorise any of my pieces, but I have been running more lately. The wind was bitterly cold this morning.
