It had gone 0900 by the time I got up. I read a bit of "A Golden Age" in bed before porridging. It's just beginning to get going as the civil war starts and the protagonist's relatives come over from Pakistan, making things very uncomfortable for the young Bangladeshi revolutionaries in the family.
