Not Friday Reading

Martin Belam  by , August 12, 2022

You probably figured that this season of Friday Reading has crashed and burned out. It will be back at some point, in some format.

In the meantime, yesterday was my last day of work this month as I go off on holiday, and I capped it with the Guardian Thursday quiz being a Sparks spectacular that the band themselves contributed to. What a wonderful summer send off.

Batteries, Beatles, boxing and Ron Mael from Sparks – take the Thursday quiz

What a joy. See you soon.
