'Tis the Season to be Hasty

scuttling around madly this weekend, but have given myself permission to do desk-bound stuff for the duration of Radio 3's CD Review this morning: Biber, Biber, Biber! (Much of it not my thing, but fascinating to hear more about him).

Just surfacing on the paper pile: an invitation from the National Art Collections Fund to nominate five people for a free trial membership for February. You'd get discounts on various exhibitions and unlimited free entry to museums, galleries and historic sites. (My membership continues to pay for itself in concession rates, even now that most museums have stopped charging admission fees).

Anyone up for it? Drop me a comment here (all screened) with your full name and address; first five applicants will be scribbled in.

EDIT, 7th Dec: I have my five now: all applicants accepted!

Help wanted

Could someone weigh 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell', please? My kitchen scales aren't up to it ...
