I am currently missing the planes above London. I always watch the planes at they make their way to Heathrow, or climb into the sky from City Airport. The sky is oddly quiet without them. And I miss the vapour trails, those vapour trails we all deplore, yet still they are so beautiful up there, cutting accross the sky.Anyway, that's enough of that; here are some things I have been up to of late:
1/ The Canal is now at the printers all set for the US launch in June. I think I will receive my copies in May (that's if there's no more volcanic and geothermal activity).
2/ Writing my Fables book.
3/ Sitting in the garden drinking wine.
4/ Cooking lots of good food.
5/ Burning my face.
6/ Reading lots of Jon McGregor (I'm a late-comer to his work - he's very good!).
7/ Fostered an addiction to Ricola.
8/ Re-reading Kafka (shorter fictions/Diary and letters).
9/ Re-reading Blanchot (his writing on Kafka).
10/ Reading Plato.
11/ Wondering if I should buy some new clothes.
12/ Going to the British Library a lot.
And I reckon that's about it. as you can see, I don't lead an exciting life, buy hey! Once the fables book is written (I have a deadline for the 25th May), things should start to hot up on here again in preparation for the launch of The Canal.
