At 10am I meet the kate McGrath producer at Hammersmith Lyric at The Riverside Rooms. At 11.15pm I meet a guy from the Hayward gallery and we walk around the exhibition Paintings of Modern Life. I am giving a gallery tour on Saturday. This is really useful and the third time I have been around the exhibition. I shall go around again on Friday to make notes. At 12.30pm I am pencilled in for lunch with the   Cape Farewell people.  It gets cancelled for some reason or other but it’s all good At 2.30pm there is the literature meeting with the marketing department the literature department and me. It’s a good meeting.  I get off to Paddington train station. I am going to perform at Glamlit organised by Hay on Whye festival.   I’ve asked martin if he could send me the events he's pencilled in for next year cause I won't know what's going on if i don't ask. But always feel I am asking. 

I am not as much as a bull in a china shop as a hippo in pink bootees tip toeing his way over egg shells to the kind of tinkety tinkety  music sound  in old cartoons.  But that's in one reality. In another, the one I live in, there is a dynamic  action happening and event is the result.  As grace Nichols said to me keep on keeping on. Creat.   I leave the south bank  to go into the world of literature - Cardiff.

I’m off! Whizz.
