If I didn't have the house to myself anyway this afternoon, I suspect I would definitely have now.

In a break from the relentless vinyl content, I passed Christ Church Southgate today and wandered in to see the Pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows.

Here is St. Matthew, designed by none other than William Morris himself - and widely thought to be a self-portrait.

V interesting. I did my final year undergraduate dissertation on Vanguard and never did fully get my head around that volte face!

Above all, in eschewing the layered Flaubtertian realism of Joyce in favour of a bleak Beckettian minimalism, Peppa Goes to Ireland uses narrative not to further any naive semblance of 'plot' but to explore epistemological questions and the very notion of "Irish-ness" itself. Highly recommended.

In a crucial plot twist, the players at the Irish dancing festival forget their musical instruments. Mummy Pig saves the day by producing some ersatz replacements from the souvenir shop. Profound questions are raised about the authenticity of folk traditions in the context of mass communication.

Indeed, the complete absence of any Irish characters - Peppa only encounters people she already knows from playgroup, who are inexplicably in rural Ireland too is a reflection of Ireland's colonial past which, at the same time, problematises the concept of diaspora in Irish identity.

Miss Rabbit's souvenir shop at the Irish dancing festival is a knowing sendup of the global commodification of Irish culture in the era of neoliberalism. Her kitsch wares stand as a stinging and Friel-esque rebuke to Flatley-isation of cultural production worthy of Field Day.

A hugely underrated contribution to the Irish literary canon. The nondescript empty landscape Peppa and her family is an oblique reference to nothing less than the works of Brian Ó Nualláin/Flann O'Brien, an absurdist comment on the post-independence lethargy of the so-called Free State. #booksky
