Given that I’m re-posting these things weekly, and culling them from months (usually), I am acutely aware of the fact that in 20 weeks or so I’ll be out of material, and out of “new” material far sooner than that. Still, although Saturdays are generally low [...]  The fish and chips at Shakespeare are world class.
