How It Works is I should be at Two Floors Bar enjoying the company of reviewing felloween and the lovely team at Bloomsbury as they celebrate the launch of Graham Marks' new novel How It Works.
But How It Actually Works is that I'm at the ACHUKA desk grappling with the challenge of converting the old Profiles information into a decently expandable database, catching up with cuttings and other general things I've fallen behind schedule with as a consequence of the weather, school meetings that take twice as long as anticipated (which was the principal reason for my not making tonight's event), domestic plumbing crises and other sundry annoyances which I normally try and rise blithely above.
So, although I won't be having a glass of wine till a good bit later, I'll say cheers in absento to Graham, author and Publishing News children's books correspondent. Thanks for a book steeped in reality, set in London, about a teenage boy with a convincingly contemporary handle on life.
