Two more purchases—academic and not so much: on the day I finish my never-ending paper (these two editions next to the keyboard are for this exact purpose) I will regard myself as a Dobbie with a sock.

The second one is a book written by a historian an a local of Cromer, Helen Murray, who dedicated her work to the inhabitants of one of the most prominent buildings in the city; such a shame I didn’t manage to attend the presentation of “Newhaven Court” at Jarrolds in Norwich in October last year. But anyway: the book is here and looks great.
