The Trip
A walk after lunch for almost two hours along the sea front, mostly thinking about writing. The sea calm again and the sky clouded and then peachy in places. All this space is a feature of Brighton life that comes into its own once the summer's done. For me being near the sea is theraputic, and it is healthy to have a sense of yourself as a speck on a vast horizon.
Otherwise a quiet day. Wrote for a while first thing on the Doppelganger. Spoke to Lorraine who has done her interview and must wait a couple of days to discover if she has a job in the newly restructured education service.
I have been watching a TV series called The Trip. Two comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon go on a tour of some of the best restaurants in the North of England, on the pretext that Coogan is writing an article about them for The Observer Magazine. The series seems almost completely improvised, and the comedians, who are playing themselves, or versions of themselves, have a bickering dysfunctional relationship. Well worth looking out for if you've not seen it. Coogan I find a very interesting screen presence and his character is teetering on the edge of a yawning precipice. Learned today that he lives in Brighton.
Below the sea this afternoon.
