The return of things

Christmas has been and gone, along with New Year and the entire festive season. It was all quiet and nothing out-of-the-ordinary occurred. Chloe and I took a trip to London on the 3rd (a present from her to me) and had a great time. We visited the Groucho Club each evening and enjoyed nice beer in small glasses and some discreet star-spotting. It is an inspired place with a reputation whose reality does not disappoint.

Now we're back and Roxy and I are on day 4 of our rehearsal process for a show that is provisionally titled "How To Be Idle", inspired of course by the writings of Hodgkinson. We have converted my living room into a great idling office and have made much progress so far. We have our first mentor's meeting tomorrow morning, so to remedy the gloom of that event, Chloe and I are about to pop over the road to Clockwork for an ale or two.

A horrid day, in terms of weather, so I have been glad to stay indoors for the most part of it, enjoying my chair, my books and my ukelele (another beautiful Christmas present).

I will write more later. Suffice it to say that I am glad to be back, glad to be writing again and look forward to re-awakening my mind with my blog.
