¦ dialling in from the Sky Bunker ¦
10:58 GMT - Monday 3rd September 2007 - this is the first chance I've had to sit up here, and be alone, for days. I got back from a very pleasant week in Newcastle, last Tuesday night. Wednesday I went to meet Zaniah who is back from Australia for a short while - spent the day with her. Thursday I went to pick up my little sister, who was over from London for my birthday... spent all day Friday with her in town... Saturday we were joined by Ramona who's flown over from New York, and Kelvin who is over from Spain. Final coffee and hang-out with my sister, before she headed back to London and the rest of us (Zaniah, Sonja, Kelvin, Ramona, Jo and I) piled into cars and drove to Oxfordshire... where we spent the weekend in a rambling country cottage with thatched roof and rooms leading off rooms, and hidden corridors...and so much good food: the place belonged to the parents of Hari, who is the mother of Indra...a young boy connected to Zaniah and Sonja... we had a long walk in some truly magical woods that were not enclosed by a city, but merged with wild open countryside... I devoured several bushes of wild blackberries during the walk, stopping every time I found a few more dangling in front of me.
So it's been a fantastic few days but I'm feeling a growing grumpiness about my lack of progress with my creative projects.
I'm also conscious I've not seen Simon, Tony, Hagen, Matthias or Dan for ages... *waves at you if you're reading this*
