Just back from seeing Adam Sisman talk about his Hugh Trevor-Roper biog at Topping's. Not such a big crowd as usual, but Robert was there to introduce him and there was a very animated and thorough Q&A session afterwards. I was particularly interested in Sisman because of his earlier biog of AJP Taylor, who was one of my heroes in the Sixth Form doing modern history A Level. The book is not cheap @ £25, so it's going on the wishlist to wait for the paperback.
And in other news...I raised £15 for the DEC Pakistan Flood appeal from selling cakes and plants at work this week.
