Interlude

[eiffel_71]

Travelled down to Gosport on Friday evening to seek out some notes I'd made for a novel I've had at concept stage for years. Found most of them yesterday evening in the bottom box of a large pile of boxes and folders - all that shifting was no picnic with my bad shoulder, but at least I found some mementoes from my sixth form college days. Alas, my notes describing the bits of Alfreton between the station and the football ground, made on a visit in 2005, appear to have vanished. I will have to rely on memory.

Had messaged Katherine to ask if she was free to meet last night but no reply on either her mobile or her landline. I guess she's still in France. So after turning up my notes I spent the evening listening to the British number ones of 1970-72 on Veronica.

This morning and the journey back came round far too soon. Met some Wigan Athletic fans on their way to Wembley in Waterloo tube, wished them luck in coming straight back up - and I did think of you, just_jenni.
