Jesus heads
Dreary weather, me coldy and slightly hungover but cheerful. Lorraine drove us off to Lewes. We sat in the car park listening to end of The News Quiz on R4. I really like how Lorraine likes the same stuff as me. Although when she went to a shop specialising in fabrics, buttons etc. I realised that this was a world of pain and went instead to a flea market, a misnomer as I saw no bartering parasites. After some time Lorraine came to collect me, armed with fabrics, and then drove us off to the garden centre by the racecourse. Here I bought new plants for my aquarium, and two new fish called pitbull plecs, which my unspeakable angelfish tried to eat when introduced to the aquarium later. Without success, so far, but their thoughts are persistently evil.
In the evening to Lorraine's house. Saw Betty, Mark and their pals Jo and Kayleigh, plus a tired-looking Sam. Chatted to Mark about writing for a while, and the monologue he has written for the Wrong nights. I think he has an obvious talent as a writer. He also showed me his personal statement he is using for applications, and he mentions me in it which was touching.
Lorraine and I went out for a curry in the usual restaurant around the corner. I had long fantasised about this moment. We chose slimming choices and confined ourselves to a single beer, but my cold made everything taste odd. Lorraine who befriends people, was told by one of our regular waiters he has just finished his PhD and now has a job working in environmental science for an important university. I like the idea he is moving from waiting tables to saving the planet.

Below... Busts of Jesus for sale in Lewes in a back room. Made me wonder where the convention for portraying Jesus like this came from.
