London calling
To London early this morning. Started to listen to a Terry Pratchett book Anton made me buy, but struggled. Instead I began The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, which was rather splendid, and listened to the rough tracks of Clameur on my iPod.
A lovely sunny morning as the fields slipped by and London sprawled out to meet us. Stopped to snap the statue of Newton (after Blake) outside the British Library as I walked from the station to Tavistock Square.
A pleasant day. Lots of familiar faces there. Including Barney, with whom I had recently had a pint in Lewes, and Slug a former partner of mine who I'd not seen for years. Our relationship ended under poor circumstances, but the world has turned since then, and it was actually really nice to talk to him. Spent much of the afternoon with Keith working on a brief about teeth, which was in fact like pulling hen's teeth. Having a laugh as is usual when we work together. Other brief chats with The FB, Matty boy, Pat, CB and Lucy. Quite fun to be in the swing of an agency again when it is full of old mates.
Rather tired this evening on the train home. A chat with Betty who said I may have a hand in the local drama school's Christmas show, which could be a laugh. Also called by JKT wanting Richard's numbers.
Otherwise, an early night called for...
Below the statue of Newton by Paolozzi... And Newton by Blake.
