Tonight’s dinner was odds and ends. I hate food waste so I basically put everything on the plate that was at the BB/EB. Which consisted of cottage cheese, red pepper hummus, a cheese and onion pasty, and some Swedish crispbread rolls I bought about two months ago. An interesting combination.

This is a nice little documentary. First shown in 1985. It’s the Soho I still see in my head, when I think of it, even though it’s changed so much over the past 40 years. Some lovely moments.

I haven’t left the room today and now it’s dark outside (and still raining).

Boo, hair appointment cancelled last minute due to burst water main in town and none of the businesses having any water for at least the rest of today. We have the highest water bills in the UK and the worst provider, South West Water, who spent much of this year dumping sewage into our waterways.

Are there any photos of Jimi Hendrix (botd) where he doesn’t look perfect? Because I’ve never seen them.

My social calendar is picking up no end for December. Meeting up with old friends. Songdog gig. Local gatherings. And just been invited to spend my birthday and Christmas in the valleys with the Songdog crew too.

I once saw Jacques Derrida give a long lecture in Paris
while he spoke (in fact he read: on hospitality)
a large hardback ledger went around the room to record attendance
at the end, with people getting up to leave, he shouted for attention
"Everyone must sign the book! Everyone SIGN the BOOK!"

Roland Barthes on how Proust’s writing is ‘a writing of Desire’ that ‘shines like the object in which jouissance will be found’:

I’ve done pretty well so far at staving off the shrinking daylight blues. Better than most years. I put it down to spending more time outside. But what I can’t shake is this infernal tiredness. I have genuinely never been so constantly knackered before. I could sleep all day if I let myself.

I read an Elizabeth Taylor (the novelist) book recently, written in the 50s and it had a passage about cinema-going which talks about 'seeing it round'.

RIP Andrew Lauder. A lovely man. I met him when we signed Songdog to Evangeline. I was in Cornwall and he suggested meeting at the office in Devon. I’ve got a dog with me, I said. No problem, bring the dog. Which is how Boop came to be present at an a&r meeting. We always joked she sealed the deal.

Didn’t go to town. Walked along the coast road, down to the corner shop at the docks for milk, then back along the coast road, all under a steady drizzle. A bedraggled crow watched me from a bare tree as I stomped up the lane in my wellies.

An 18-month old Lab is not remotely fazed by a bit of rain and requires so much ball-bowling I’m thinking of applying to the England team for next year’s Test. We stopped for coffee but Mabel got bored and demanded another few runs on the beach.
