Literature: It's amazing how much reading can be got through with unflinchingly regular bed-time story-time.
.
Recommend a book, or books, that would stand a chance of enrapturing a bright seven year old boy.
.
Money: 'I wouldn't count on it', 'Don't bet on it', 'How much are you willing to put on that?', and so on.
.
Horses, dogs, the dollar, the weather, politics, where bears choose to excrete... Literally or metaphorically, what would you bet on?
Information: Given the circumstances, I suppose the phrase 'Too much information' would seem a bit harsh.
.
What are you grateful for?
.
Good week to you.

Literature / Film and Sport
The latest incarnation of A Post Box follows, thus: I aim to post only once per week, with between 2 and 5 questions offered up for response, dissection or rejection. Play along, pass it on, stick it in your pipe, and so on. It's A Post Box, it's a public Post Box, and so all links and flaggings up are appreciated. So, we begin. Again:
--------------------------------------
LITERATURE / FILM: I note some discussion of novels or ‘literature’ that are adapted for television and film. On a similar theme,
Are there any novels, novellas, or other pieces of writing, that you would like to see adapted for stage or screen?
Stephen Fry’s ‘The Hippopotamus’ always struck me as a particularly filmic novel, in a great British ensemble cast sort of way.
SPORT: I've recently been pondering the values that are implicit to introducing young children (the young hound, Jack, 7, in particular) to football (specifically) at the corporate end of the spectrum over the lower (local) level teams - Newcastle United over Newcastle Town, Manchester United over Macclesfield Town, kind of thing. Only very loosely related:
Is there a sports event or venue that you’ve not ever been to, but that you would like to experience in person, one day?
Counter to my above pondering, I've never been to Wembley, but would certainly like to - a football play-off final or a competitive international would be ideal.
