Last night with Kate and Gavin in Wandsworth, after going out with them and Fraser to the White Cross in Richmond. Frase up and about and looking fine again after his Christmas hospitalisation. He also dropped the bombshell that Sarah was pregnant again… So it goes 2003: baby, 2004: open heart surgery & new job as CD, 2005: baby.

Enjoyable time with Kate and Gav. Broke food free diet by eating some pizza and drinking beer at their place. But good fun. Slept like a narcoleptic log.

Woke up early and played Gav’s nice guitar till they got up. Kate making me laugh moaning about “the beer badgers” who had moved all her stuff around in the night so she was now unable to find anything. Gavin walked me to the bus stop, saying that he and Kate might live in SA for a while.

Work… was a mind numbing 6 hour meeting with three of our clients to create a five year strategic plan for their business. Despite recent events, still having to play the creative director. Blah blah key performance indicators blah blah blah creating brand champions blah what do you think Peter? Yikes! Er… Blah blah.

Home and not much achieved. Tidied up a bit sorted books in study. Decided to put dodgy SF books into a box and secrete them somewhere till I get some proper shelves built.

Returned Anton’s drill. Gallingly Anton has lost half a stone thanks to a vomiting virus and was parading about looking decidedly slimmer. He made me a cup of tea and then said he was only going to drink water as tea was so fattening.

Irritatingly didn’t have a moment to write random poem today.

Had to stand most of the way back from London tonight, reading the Brian Eno book which I am enjoying a great deal and despite the glazing of people’s faces when I talk about it, I am recommending strongly to anyone who will listen.
