Hiding in language

Lorraine with Pat and Maureen till this evening. Spoke with Mum a couple of times, and did some recording with Robin and then spent hours editing it. Feeling drained and had a brisk walk by the sea to liven myself up a bit. Breaking in one of my new pairs of shoes. Read a book to review called Living In Language, international reflections for the practising poet, edited by Erica Hesketh. It collects essays by contemporary international poets about poetry -- also for the podcast. Wonderful essay in it by a south Korean poet called Lee Hyemi. When Lorraine arrived I fed her casserole and we had a quiet night chatting, reading and listening to music. Yawning my head off tonight, and in bed before ten.
