Last night the theme of family was strongly in force. Is Clare's wham-blam-thank-you-ma'am character trying to nest or just have a big party? Mandeep told the heartbreaking story of a family's destruction stemming from the father's attempts to prove the infallible union of his marriage. Finally Mary's protagonist saves her beloved family at the cost of herself. Wonderful pieces all round.

This was the second week running without the pub. I blame lent's air of abstinence. Next time, Clare's sitting in for the committee and it will be almost Easter so there has to be drinking. WGWG commands it.
