Here's To You, West Ham

It has proved to be an exciting weekend. Well, in my limited perspective anyway. The play-in game for the third and final promotion to the Premier League took place earlier at Wembley. It was a fine match and though I wanted Blackpool to advance, it wasn't to be. The biggest stage on the planet needs Ian Holloway.

I completed Perdido Street Station this week and have nearly completed Mieville's The City and the City. I truly loved the former but found second to be an uncomfortable inversion of the procedural novel. There aspects close to home which also render this problematic.
