What Dreams May Come

The promised dream blog has now materialised: I give you Petunias Thrive, at http://alephone.blogspot.com/. It strikes me now that "alephone" would have been a good title to use if I ever decide to shunt off my sporadic tedious comments about beer into a dedicated weblog, but never mind.

B. and I met up for a meal with some friends we hadn't seen for ages, in Bradford-upon-Avon on Saturday. Unfortunately we hadn't arranged to meet until 8pm, their train was delayed, the staff at The Dandy Lion had all their attention taken up by a private party (not that that had stopped them taking bookings), and we ended up having to rush our mains and skip dessert altogether in order to catch our respective last trains home at 10:30ish. This was most frustrating. The vegetarian food was OK, I guess, although rather unimaginative, and the beer (various flavours of Wadworth's) wasn't too bad. Very nice indeed to see the friends in question, though.

No other news of any interest at present. The actual administration of a writing career seems to consist largely of waiting for people to get back to you about things, while other people wait for you to get back to them about different things which you're too busy to get done because of all the waiting. Or maybe that's just Western civilisation I'm thinking of.
