Felt physically better today. Went for a short constitutional at lunchtime. Snowy day, but haven't seen any settle yet. The river bright between bouts of brushed steel clouds and occasional scatters of fine snow.

Work best passed over in silence. Brightened only by MJ sending me a note saying she had put her kids on ebay. Bolted early thinking that there would be problems with the trains but they were perfect. Racing the snow out of London. Met Reuben on the platform at Brighton and had a quick chat.

Had idea on train to create CDs of ambient conversation that you could play in different enrironments to set the tone. It would encourage the people you wanted to be in your establishment because it sort of sounds like they do. After I while I decided it was a really stupid idea though.

Home and just so happy to be here. Went for a walk down to the sea tonight which was really nice if a bit nippy. Stood on a groyne and looked out to sea soulfully wearing beenie hat which makes me look like an idiot. But a warm one, with a warm heart.
