Mum's Monday: The Site of Murder - An Emma Fielding Mystery

Site Unseen

I love the images conjured up from just a spoon, showing the depth of archaeology. What I don’t like is the mysterious person watching over the sire.


This film quickly becomes expected and unexpected at the same time. I was expecting some early bones of a murder victim but that is not what is found. The script is a little flimsy in places. Emma (Courtney Thorne-Smith) is speaking far too freely. I can see both sides that one, Emma has nothing to hide but, two, the police may take what she says as inadvertently incriminating herself. Luckily people know Emma too well in more ways than one it seems.


I am now glad the ‘Puns’ seemed to have stopped, I don’t mind the odd amusing pun but I wouldn’t want a whole script of them.


What I don’t like is that the site has been compromised. It is good that the site can be salvaged. Luckily the ‘Find’ is still ok.


I like the mention/reference to a police investigation is like archeology. Now the scene swaps to the dig site and the ‘Find’ is gone. The script is awful about this part. Sadly, so is the acting it is almost cringy. 


A storm is brewing in more ways than one. There is a lot going on, including, it does look like, jealousy, integrity and a fire. I want to say the dig site is cursed but really it is just, at the moment, looks like it is about a ‘Chest of gold coins’ however, the ‘Colony’ is more important at the dig site.


I think I know who is behind the things that are happening but it seems obvious and by the nature of ‘It is the least expected person’ I could be so wrong.


It is annoying yet, I suppose inevitable with young minds and modern technology to see the students following Emma. 


It might just be me but I have lost track as to what is happening. So the ‘Beads’ have nothing to do with it? Yet, I still don’t know/not sure. It looks strange, almost ‘Crazy’. Another crime scene. The drone evidence may have picked up something? All I do know is that there are just too many people listening. This is building a little intrigue into the mix. Another ‘Bead’ but why? 


It is nice to see the drone evidence is useful, but sadly, it is not enough to save the dig. Well going back to the eavesdropping one person could be helpful. 


Now how did Emma come to that conclusion? Oh ‘Fingerprints’ this part leading up to the scene is not clearly explained. The students could be onto something. I am so glad they are there as Emma is safer with some people having her back/looking out for her.


Now it turns silly, Emma is on a boat in the middle of water and she reveals some things that could potentially get her thrown overboard. ‘More’ oh I see it now. 

Again I love the images of the colony that continue to be conjured up after another find. Overall the special effects used to recreate some artifacts have been really well done and goes above and beyond for the nature of this film.

Film of the Week: Soul

Pixar has done it again. And they seem to have confirmed that the Pixar Theory (that every Pixar film exists on one giant timeline) is true by the amount of Easter eggs and references within the Hall of Everything. Whether that’s true or not is yet another theory, but it’s a strong one nevertheless.

Soul focuses on celebrating living in the moment, and not letting something, even if it’s something you live, take control of you. It’s centre point is of course, finding what truly makes you want to get up in the morning - that spark that drives our motivation, gives us the energy to keep going. Jamie Foxx voices Joe Gardner, who, after an unfortunate accident, ends up on a conveyor belt along with all the other souls heading for the great beyond. Refusing that, he jumps off the conveyor belt and falls into an entirely new world - or realm if that’s the most accurate description - The Great Before, where all the souls that would be born into the world originate from and find their spark. He stars alongside Tina Fey, who voices 22, a soul who doesn’t want to leave The Great Before. 22 doesn’t know and doesn’t want to find out what will complete that badge which will grant access to Earth. 22 accidentally falls into Joe’s body and learns what it means to be alive, creating that much awaited spark.


There were two surprising voices in Soul. Richard Ayoade’s voices Soul Sorter, and Graham Norton voices Moonwind. They both do a brilliant performance and bring their own personalities into the film.


Pixar’s seemingly flawless ability to make their audience feel so many emotions whilst watching their films is what makes them one of the greatest animated film studios ever, and they can proudly add Soul to that ever growing list. Near the end, when 22 had found that spark, that emotional farewell he and 22 shared before saying goodbye was a powerful moment, accompanied by the amazing soundtrack written by Trent Reznor and Addicus Ross, and it would be an insult to his talent by not mentioning Jon Batiste for his work composing the Jazz music, which was Joe’s soul for most of the movie.

Mum's Monday: The Cover Up by Marnie Riches Part two (Cut Dead Some years before)

I know ‘Cut and Shut’ are really dangerous and should not be done and I cannot condone this illegal activity, but what I do find amusing and only in the nature of this short story, and it is not that Lev is in trouble with the wrong people, it is however, that Lev seems to have a part from the wrong car. An image springs to mind of a back end of one sort of car attached to the front end of another type of car in some sort of mismatched set up like a child's drawing or a challenger from a TV show.

I like how resourceful Gloria is in tending to Lev’s wound ‘Sticky tape’ this part, to me, is confusing as it could literally be tape, but it could be surgical tape, however, I would have thought it would have been more specific if it was that. I like to think it was, as described,   ‘Sticky tape’. That is funnier to think about. Now ‘Cut and shut’ people, throws’ up a whole new, different weird image. This is clever and imaginative.

Well we all would want the best for our children, but sadly, I can see it being really awkward, the thought, a gangster’s daughter wanting to be a ‘Lawyer’. Of all the career paths, this is unpopular and gets me thinking about a ‘Them and us’ scenario, and Conky really should have kept quiet.

I like why/how Sheila’s cleaning business was set up. This shows that Sheila is resourceful, determined and stronger than she thinks sometimes. I now don’t agree with how the cleaning business is being started. However, it is to be expected by the nature of this story.

When I see the title of this short story part of The Cover Up being called Cut Dead, I didn’t take much notice of it as I was eager to read more about the characters in the main initial book. Now I am reading this short story. The title doesn’t fit the story until the end and then it is only a flimsy connection, this story should have a different, more fitting title. I do agree with the idea of a short story relating more about the characters but some of it seemed repetitive of the main story. Overall I feel that although meant as a short story it could have been a little longer with a different title and still could have been classed as to what the story was meant to achieve/do.

Film of the Week - The Italian Job (2003)


It’s strange seeing a remake of a film being as old as this one is. Coming out in 2003, it’s 17 years old. Judging by how Hollywood loves their remakes, I’m surprised they haven’t remade it once more already, but instead, they’re sticking with this one; not that I have a problem with that, because frankly, I’d prefer if they never made it within the confines of the context of being the remake of the legendary film, The Italian Job. I’d prefer it if they simply made it a heist film, because it works more like that than it does being anything like the first film. 


Sure, the first film is an heist film, but it’s The Italian Job. This remake does pay homage to the previous by including minis, and, the characters do go to Italy as that is where the film begins and they do perform a decent heist there, but then it takes a massive leap to America where Italy is never mentioned again, and the main character, played by Mark Wahlberg is called Charlie Croker. Whilst he’s a different character entirely to Michael Caine’s character, he’s also called Charlie Croker. Three references to the previous film; other than that, it’s just a heist film called the same as the previous film.


How can they call it the Italian Job when the main heist of the film is set in America? If they had called it The American Job and drove away in Minis with a passing reference from the main character stating he had influence from a heist in Italy, that would give the American setting more context.


I wouldn’t mind it if this film alluded to being a spiritual sequel and not an outright remake, because as an heist film, it’s pretty good. It makes sense as a heist film - the storyline fits nicely together, the character, each have their motives for pulling off the heist to the best of their abilities, and each character has their own skill-set to make themselves feel included in the main film and not just off to one side and all the actors playing those characters don’t put a foot wrong - they’re perfect for their roles. All in all, credit where credit’s due, as a heist film, it’s enjoyable and I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. As a remake to the Italian Job, however, that’s where it disappoints.

Mum's Monday: The Cover Up by Marnie Riches Part one


At the start of this book it very quickly describes the business dealings of Sheila O’Brien. I had to read this part carefully,  pay attention and concentrate on what I was reading as it was a very busy chapter with a lot going on in it. It builds a strong start to this story. 


The next chapter goes off in a different direction, you have to read on to see the connection to Sheila, which is, I feel, a good/nice one.


Now in the third chapter we meet/read about Mr Bancroft. It is good to see that Sheila is a good, strong and independent woman and can hold her own. I like this kind of woman and reading about them and what they can and do achieve.


This book describes and captures the ‘Gangster’  world, it is well written so you can clearly picture it as you would if you were watching a movie. Watching a movie you would see the scenes play out on the screen, in this book there is just enough of a description to set the scenes really well so that you can also fill in the images as if, as I have said, you were watching it.


Before when I bought this book I read the paragraphs on the back of it. Now I am actually reading the story/book, I realise that you shouldn’t have believed everything I/you read in the first paragraph. This makes the book interesting and unexpected.


It is shocking yet expected that this book is gruesome because of the nature of this story. It is sad that, it seems, the wrong person was blamed, as now, it would make sense as to who, although I don’t think they are the only one to speak out. I do believe two people are talking. 


It is different, as in, in the parts about Gloria it interweaves her quotes from the Bible into the story. This reminds me of the Dot Cotton/Branning (June Brown) character in the BBC Soap EastEnders when she used to quote chapter and verse from the Bible as part of her script. 


I like how this book goes into so much detail when describing Sheila. What is not nice to read is what has happened to her. Sheila is a strong woman but I feel there is still room for character development further on in this story, for Sheila to become more of a stronger person and I hope she does and this book shows her full potential I believe can be achieved. However, Sheila still should watch her step as we know someone is out there to get her. Now I don’t want to put this book down, as I would love to read, well I hope, about a reunion later on.


As I read this book, it may just be me, but, I still don’t know where the title of the book ‘The Cover Up’ fits in with the story. Some books I have read the title has been perfect and fitting in more ways than one. With this one I cannot see the connection, as yet, or I could just be missing something.


This book is really good as in how it describes two characters being out and about in two separate chapters. One out to get an ‘Update’ and the other out to meet a friend. It is clever how it comes together in the form of a ‘Photo’. I feel this book is getting closer to a/the I hope again reunion.


I am glad Sheila is alright and Gloria will be. Although Sheila should have gone to hospital. I know Sheila has a message for Bancroft and she wants to wait until the next day, but this part makes me feel on edge as I know as in my nature wanting to say something, wording it would play on my mind and I wouldn’t be able to sleep. Now again I don’t want to put this book down as I want to know who is in the car. If it is who I think it is then I may be able to sleep after all?


It seems there is a hole in this story, yes, I have found out who is in the car but, the reason he is there is, as yet, not explained in detail. It is only written as to the after the event/situation. I want to say some cliche sayings to this part ‘Sleeping with the enemy’ also a film with Julia Roberts, or ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer’ As these now apply in this story but all I can think of is ‘Poor Conky’ and luckily it seems thank goodness for Lev as well. I also hope Tariq finds who he is looking for. This part was not nice to read before it got steamy.


I am glad Gloria is going to be ok, however, may be not with her new romantic partner Bob, who I do not exactly trust. He is a secretive character but asks a lot of what is known as probing questions. Now if the authorities get hold of Sheila’s mobile phone. Although I do not condone criminal activities, the fact I am reading this book and enjoying it, I accept that what is happening is fictional in this story. I do like the deal Sheila made with Gloria’s son Lev. The phone SIM is a dangerous source of a life of criminal information. You know what they say ‘My phone contains my life’ and so on and so on, Sheila needs her SIM back and fast.


Well I now know where Youssuf is as chapter 25 is an interesting and , to me, an overly detailed chapter. Youssuf is, it seems, on a mission.


This book it seems is becoming like, and he is mentioned, ‘James Bond’  by Ian Fleming and others where it seems all is lost, there seems no hope and no escape, but all of a sudden it all works out, so far in this book with Lev failing in his mission and Conky having been arrested, it seems all is lost, until, well I hope, it all comes good in the end. Now again I don’t want to put this book down.


This book is becoming sinister and it is a shock to read about how a child is treated, this part is ruthless and it is not at all nice to read. I don’t want to put this book down until I read that the characters are all ok and I also feel that this book should come with a warning about the treatment of a child.


Well the secret is out. What next? Well people are finding out. I am not sure about how innocent a nun is and Bob and Gloria take the pleasure out of ‘Pleasure Beach’ I feel there is more to come. A lot more.


After a very busy few chapters the ending is a surprise as it seems a person can seem to be dead twice although once for real but interestingly not by the usual gangster hand as in the nature of this book but by, as in a murder mystery, the least expected person. This book went from gangster to Agatha Christie surprisingly very quickly. An eye opening good book and ending to it.


To be continued...

TV Show of the Week - Doctor Who

I held off talking about the ending of series 12, The Timeless Children until now because I had never been so conflicted with a piece of entertainment than I had watching that episode unfold. When the credits rolled, Doctor Who would never be the same again, and that has been said many times during its long run. I knew that this would split the audience down the middle, and the strong reviews about them loving or hating the episode were flooding in from the very moment the episode ended. With the audience so definitively split as they continue to be, being on either side of the spectrum, the one neutral statement they made before writing whether they loved or hated the episode was the acknowledgement that Doctor Who’s continuity has been twisted and broken and changed so many times in the passed, and that this revelation won’t be the last. What sets myself aside from those reviewers, and the reason why I held off talking about that episode for so long, was I struggled to choose a side for I was split down the middle with my own opinions on the episode.

My initial reaction about the episode in general, coupled with the previous episode as they are a part of one story, sub-par at best. The lone Cyberman story arc had the potential to be an emotionally impactful storyline, it had the makings of a grand story across the entire tenure of Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Doctor, much the same as the Silence was for Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor. But Chris Chibnall destroyed any of those opportunities by literally killing the Lone Cyberman off, suddenly and with no real impact, by the Master. The storyline about the Lone Cyberman inside the episode The Timeless Children had literally no influence about the massive revelation that Chris wanted to emphasise. To make a massive change to the show such as that, there needed to be so much more focus on the revelation, allowing us, the audience, to process just how the show is going to deal with it, instead of just plonking it on our screens as an hour of exposition and then told to wait for months for the next episode, Resolution of the Daleks, which only briefly skimmed over the events of The Timeless Children at best, so now we have to wait yet another few months before we get at least some answers.

Quick side step, Resolution of the Daleks as an OK episode - it was exciting to see Captain Jack Back and make references to past events and compagnions, namely Rose Tyler, but it has made me nervous for the next series. Whilst it is labelled as a New Year’s special, we need answers, and if it can give us the impression that the show, and Chris, can move on so quickly from the events of The Timeless Children, then maybe series 13 isn’t going to feature everything we need as long time fans of the show to help process the massive change that it underwent.


Chris does have the freedom to change continuity and the show’s history, because Russell T. Davis and Stephen Moffatt did so as well, so we can’t criticise Chris for making his own mark on the show, but changing continuity as massively as The Timeless Children had, and even changing the very history of the show itself, could have been done better, there’s no doubt about that. For all the exposition we were given, ironically, it had very little justification. Throughout the segments where we’re given the history of the Time Lords, it felt as if we weren’t given enough explanation, and what I mean by that is how the show contradicts previously established continuities. We, the audience, were left in a pile of questions, and that’s why I’m nervous about series 13, because I’m afraid that not all of them, if not none, of the questions we have will be answered. As the show stands, we, the fans, are left trying to piece it together for ourselves, instead of the show doing it for us, and that shouldn’t be how something like that should work.


If you’ve made it this far into the article, you might have noticed that I haven’t actually been critical about the massive change Chris made, just how it was handled. This brings me to the main reason for why I held off talking about that episode for so long. As a fan of the show, it does mess things around a bit - it does contradict a lot of continuity, and it does take some meaning away from William Hartnell being the 1st Doctor. It does make us see previous episodes in a different light. Much the same as the 50th anniversary changed the way we perceived the 9th Doctor’s episode Dalek in series 1, knowing that he really did save Gallifrey. Changing continuity is nothing new, contradicting facts is nothing new, but it’s how you present them is.


I haven’t been critical about the recent change because, as a writer, (controversially) I liked it. As a writer, I understood why the show had to change again, to keep things fresh, to give future writers of the show ample room to move around in the show’s lore. Stephen Moffatt revealed quite a lot about the Doctor’s life during his reign, obsessing over the character’s name throughout Matt Smith’s run. As a writer, I can see that the show hasn’t entirely lost its mystery. The title, Doctor Who, still remains firmly intact, because, let’s face it, after being told that the Doctor originates from a different dimension entirely, we don’t have a clue who the heck she is, and within the lore of the show, currently, she doesn’t either.


We need answers, and we need them to be good. I understand that some people are wishing for the change to be completely written out entirely, but we all know that it will be either a very long time before that happens, or it won’t happen at all. As a fan of the show, we need to give it the benefit of the doubt for series 13. I am nervous that it won’t satisfy us fans, but series 13 is going to happen, and maybe it will help us transition into the new era that Chris has created for the show. I just wish it was handled so much better than it was.

Mum's Monday: The Place We Met by Isabelle Broom


When I see that this book mentions ‘New Years Eve’ in the back paragraph and it is set in Italy. One, I thought it would be good to put a Blog review out on the Monday of the week of New Years Eve 2020/2021 and two, as I have been to Italy for a lunch and to catch  the Bernina Express train back into Switzerland from Tirano Italy during a coach tour/holiday. I still liked the idea of reading a book set in Italy. 

I have said that I would like to come back as a bird, so when I read that when Agatha also known as Taggie also wants to come back as a bird and it was described as to why I could relate because I have the same reasons and love flying also. This book is off to a good start with me. 

There is a well known saying ‘Out of the mouths of children’ I like when Poppy asked if she needed a new arm? And yes, Poppy is very brave.

As I am reading this story about Agatha and Lucy, Taggie, working at a Lake Como hotel having escaped a heart break and Lucy on holiday with her new boyfriend Pete. I know that the two women are connected and I believe the found photo has a lot to do with the connection.

It does say on the back of this book that Taggie and Lucy’s lives ‘Collide’ I believe I now know how. I can’t wait to read/get to New Years Eve and see what actually happens. I forgot about Manny, I wonder how they fit into the equation.

Poor Taggie what she sees on a phone reads as a shock to me as well. However, art is art and it is most definitely not ‘Fruit’. 

I feel there is a clue in Taggie's memories, blink and you may miss it but if this story is going the way I think it is then a clue is a clue.

Poor Marco, what a question to be asked and judging by what Taggie sees on the phone they are very serious. Each to their own I suppose. I am just glad Taggie is holding a dog in her arms.

Well now in modern times it seems a stick is still a stick to a dog who likes to bury sticks, except this particular stick is a modern day selfie stick. I am going to say this is a modern day occupational hazard because you wouldn’t have had this problem a few years back before the invention of such an item. This is amusing to read even though the dog is very possessive and Taggie gets quite muddy. Now there’s a possible marketable product to think about and it is amusing too. ‘Pedigree chum’ flavoured shower gel. I love this explanation as to why a dog who is mostly angry takes to Marcoin the way that it did.

I thought this story started off on New years eve but there is more of a build up to that night, as I read than I realised. Although this is a surprise how far I have read through this book and not yet got to New years eve. I can see one, why and two, the relevance. Also if I am right about the known connection/collide and who Taggie actually is then this story needs the big build up and the near misses I believe them to be.

There is no surprise. I saw it coming, ok not an accidental blooded nose and the streaming eyes. It is nice to see that despite the circumstances Lucy is still able to switch to nurse mode. I suppose it shows that just because you are the new girl friend it doesn’t make you a bad person and Lucy is a nice person anyway. I wonder what will happen now? I also want to know why Pete is not ‘Impressed?’ He shouldn’t have that opinion as one, the nose was an accident and two, he has moved on so why not Taggie. Unless I have missed something? I don’t want to put this book down now that the collision has happened. Yes, I would like Pete to be honest as well. 

The morning surprise is a nice one. I think I can kind of see what happened between Pete and Taggie then meeting Lucy or however, the timeline worked out. It is vague so far but I do believe meeting Lucy was before the split with Taggie. I and you will have to read this book to find out for sure. 

I am now glad Lucy knows everything including who Manny is and it makes sense, and after Pete’s % year relationship ended, 5 years is a long time, to then move on with Lucy it would seem a bit too soon, but if you know love then you know it's love. 

I can see that Pete had the best intentions but it turns out he really shouldn’t have contacted Taggie. Yes, I hope she is ‘Ok’. Also I think I can see where Taggie will end up and I do hope the boat does work out well as I think it will have  a lot to do with Taggie’s future. 

This story/book is an interesting one. Taggie wanted to get married and have a family with Pete and that all got dashed. Now there could be new, more exciting ventures/prospects on the horizon for her, so I do think she was just settling back home when there is a whole world out there, well a lake and all that has to offer. Taggie just took a little while to find her new way in  her life.

Ok, ok i feel this part is just rubbing it in. Going to the new years eve party at the Casa Alta Hotel and no Taggie wouldn’t be where she works at an event the Taggie herself is actually single handedly organising herself. It looks like New year is going to be quite a night of more fireworks than was initially planned. I don’t want to put this book down now that the story is getting even more interesting.

After rain/crying stopped play/Taggie cooking it is now amusing to read the part where Taggie and Shelley are tipsy/drunk. This is hilariously funny and sweet. 

Chapter 43, throws up a whole heap of information, it is a shock with so much more to Pete meeting Lucy. Sadly, it is a tragic situation. Poor Taggie.

Sometimes when reading a book or watching a film or TV you occasionally come across, or I have, the above mentioned where you wouldn’t associate the title with the storyline. This book however, has the perfect title as whether it was intentional or not, it covers multiple characters and more than just Lake Como. This is clever, meaning to be or not.

The realisation of the ‘Chocolate bar’ day when Lucy met Pete. yes, it all falls into place now but again poor Taggie and I still want to read on to one, see if possible Taggie will be ok and two, what now for Pete and Lucy? 

I agree that if a relationship isn’t working then the couple shouldn’t stay together, but in this case there is so much that could have been handled a lot better than it was. 

It is lovely to see a new year, a new start. It just shows that sadly, things had to get a little bit worse before it got better. It is also good to see one, Taggie come to a realisation and two, Pete is not blind when it comes to who Lucy is.

This book catches you unawares with an almighty shock. However, it all works out after and I can see that the future for Lucy starts with ‘I miss you too’ and for Taggie her future starts with some bread from an oven on a boat and another, you could say. ‘Bun in the oven’. Dream(s) come true.

The Written Podcast: Friday - 01/01/2021

And so begins another year around the sun - for the Northern Hemisphere, anyway. Last year was an historic year for one major reason. Many years before have secured their spot in the historic history books for one reason or another, but last year was certainly perched on its own podium, away from all the other years. Those previously historic years have one thing in common, that whatever happened between January 1st and December 31st is usually what is talked about, not necessarily the year itself, whereas 2020 will be the thing that people will talk about within that year. If my manager were to come up to me on January 1st 2020 and said that the company is going to shut down for 3 months of the year, of course I wouldn’t believe him. Most probably I would question why. But that is what happened. For 3 months of the year, not only did the company shut down, nor did only the country shut down, but the entire world came to a standstill. By early April, 3.9 Billion people, more than half the world’s population, was under various levels of lockdown.

For us UK residents, and probably, for the most part, Europeans as well, Brexit dominated the news since 2016 when the residents of the UK voted to leave the EU. Ever since then, without fail, every single day, Brexit was mentioned at least once. Leaving an entire continent of countries sounded easy to some people, was an agonisingly difficult job for a lot more, because making sure everyone’s happy is not an easy task. The Government struggled to keep everyone happy long before Brexit was a thought in David Cameron’s mind, but here we are, going into 2021 with a long-awaited deal that was made late last year, practically at the very last moment. Coronavirus, lockdown, tier systems, the furlough scheme; they became the new talking point for everyone. At the pandemics full strength, Brexit seemed like something that was pushed to one side. When the deal was finally reached between the UK and the EU, who the heck thought that it would be seen by many as secondary.

Now that we’re firmly in the grasps of 2021, if last year proved anything that we should definitely expect the unexpected. The global pandemic and Brexit will forever change the way the UK functions from this moment on, and probably the entire world, too. Last year was definitely a decade defining year, but we have to be prepared for the possibility that the 2020s is a millennium defining decade. When the world looks back at this millennium, I would be very surprised if 2020 wasn’t at the top of everyone’s list of major moments. Although, to be perfectly honest, I would be very surprised to be very surprised at all within the next millennium, considering it’s just under 980 years away. A lot can happen in that time, but the year 2020 may be overshadowing many more events to come - unless we finally make contact with extraterrestrials this year, then that might just take the top spot, or we finally successfully develop time travel and send people back in time, which could lead to many rewrites and major catastrophes.... I think I’m straying a bit too far from my initial point, but I think you understand enough to know what I’m talking about.


Last year will live on in infamy, that’s for definite: documentaries will be made about it, conspiracy theories will spread all over the world, historians will discuss what happened on TV, and multiple books both nonfiction and fiction will be written about the year - it will be the talking point for many years to come. I will be fascinated to consume as much information as I can possibly get hold of relating to the events of last year, whether true or not, to give a true perspective on how the world was truly affected by that historic year.
