Nicky opened up, so I had a lie-in.

Today’s order was for a book called A Young Man’s Passage, by Mark Teller. Julian Clary used the same title for his autobiography, but I can’t imagine he chose it for the same reasons.

As Nicky and I were putting fresh stock out, we both commented at the same time (as we went into the gallery) that it was extremely cold in there. And the fire was lit too. Since we put in the air source heater at the bottom of the stairs last year, the gallery has gone from being the warmest room in the shop to one of the coldest, probably because it has a stone wall with no lining or insulation, so I telephoned Callum to see what he thinks about it. He is going to come over and have a look at it.
