No escape

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.

Tony leaves early. Leila and I rise in a more leisurely fashion. I suspect I might be somewhat hungover.

To Islington for a board meeting and the start of a company meetup. Leila heads off to the Grayson Perry exhibition : “This is a bonkers exhibition, great fun!”

Matt, Sal, and I have dinner at Mem & Laz. I opt for the vegetarian mezzo, a huge platter of pastes, purées, patties, cheeses, morsels, and stuffed vegetables. Steve joins us later with a new rucsac for me.

A 30 bus transports me through the cooling night to the flat, still baking with residual heat.
