Today looked like continuing from the nasty stop-off at the end of last week, but it didn’t. It improved before ten, and flowed fairly smoothly from there on in. I got my column done and am very happy with the result, sorted the invoices and shifted a whole load of pages. Even this week’s show seems to be sorting itself out with barely any effort at all.

The whole team lunched downstairs in the little air-raid shelter cave below the Star Cafe. Very poky, but good food. We walked down to Patisserie Valerie when we’d done and bought decadent cakes. The chocolate was so pure it gave me a splitting headache all afternoon no matter how much tea I drank to wash it away.

Popped into Sainsbury’s on the way home to buy Quorn pate, but ended up filling a basket to the point where I needed two hands to carry it. Noticed in the bathroom aisle that they need to think more carefully about their labelling. The pricing strip below the rolls of Andrex said ‘Andrex, white. 241 sht.’

I presume it means sheets, but then… it is loo roll, so you never know.

I picked up the Standard on the train this evening. I was dropping off listening to my German and needed a reason to keep my eyes open. On page seven there was a story about Cambridge City Council planning to fine motorists
