Work fairly reasonable. Went for a walk with Pat at lunchtime along the river, talking about how to manage stress. I am making it my business to try to get out of the office for some species of exercise every day, even if it is just a walk.

Left work on the dot, but was intercepted by the FB and ended up having a few exceedingly enjoyable drinks with him before leaving for home. Talking of many and various matters.

Back in Brighton and an unimpeachable meal of fish and chips and mushy peas. The fare of the gods. Fell asleep for a bit then enjoyed speaking to a cheerier-sounding MJ till 1.10am. I love her.
