Ah, the kettle is always on here! I just finished Abraham Verghese's a Cutting for Stone, a great book especially if you have any interest in medicine. I am now reading Nomad by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is the Somali-born writer who escaped a life of Islamic fundamentalism and embraced the enlightenment inspired ideals of the west. It is a fascinating read and, I think, a necessary one on the dangers of encouraging immigrants not to assimilate.

I'm into good old Bridget Jones Diary, giggling to myself and drinking a new-to-me black tea called Taylors of Harrowgate Yorkshire Tea. It's delish.
