Diary - Tuesday 13 August 2002

Got into work early by dint of taking W&C line, and with a cold-preventing hot black coffee I sat in Ampersands and read to the end of Shogun'. Next stop Tai Pan! Actually, the question is whether to find the video to rent, or is it better to retain the imagery and impression I've generated. Richard Chamberlain doesn't really match my idea of John Blackthorne.

Haddock beers in Soho Square, the Toucan's not-quite-legit beer garden, with Alex, Heather, Kev, Zelda and Phil. Kev and Zelda compared wedding plans, or more accurately wedding non-plans. We agreed that there was a clear need to Haddock married to pass on their expertise to the affianced! Two pints after a long day and a summer with scarce few balmy evenings for beer drinking and I was happily tipsy by the time we caught the bus back to Phil's. Lounged on the sofa, watching Teenage Kicks dining on dinner a la Phil. Nice and lazy.
