The winner of the Carnegie Medal is announced tomorrow.  I've been shortlisted for The Ask and The Answer and so I'll be at the ceremony, where I think I'll be meeting a few of you who've won a competition.  Excellent, can't wait.  Thanks for all the best wishes for award, too!  We'll see how it turns out tomorrow, eh?

Quick welcome to the new commenters, still loving to hear reactions to Monsters of Men.  More soon.
