This morning I went chasing wild geese — the job spec mentioned racking, I pointed out to the pimp I couldn't do heavy lifting, she said "not a problem," the interviewers said within five minutes it was absolutely required and they would be having a little word with the arseclowns in question. I am resisting the temptation to send a bill for my time.

It was entertaining getting in — an unexploded World War II bomb had been found near Prince Regent DLR, meaning both the Beckton and King George V lines past Canning Town were suspended:

The broken bed will hopefully be fixed ... next Wednesday.

Today I am frazzled. Send crack.

Later: Met jdforrester in a seedy Whitehall pub to give him a Casio Exilim EX-S600. This is much nicer in low light than the EX-S20 I used for ages. If you want to use it for anything more than a snapshot camera, you need to go through the preprogrammed "Bestshot" modes and fiddle them to your satisfaction. But the sensor is good and it's such a cute little gadget. I feel much better after a couple of beers.

Came home to discover hawkeviper and his shiny new American girlfriend Sarah:

Broken beds, unexploded bombs from The War, miniature cameras and clandestine meetings in seedy pubs. Throw in an unfaithful spouse and a troubled childhood and we have the beginnings of a Le Carrè novel.

Actually, when I said, "you five", I meant Dave, Liz, Neo, Madame, and the half-ton record collection. If I intended to include you, it would have been six with Tom.

Once Dave is away prancing about the beach in a thong, I think you should take up a new hobby, like making stop-action animation videos with your dolls:

He didn't mention we had a small police siege in our street yesterday as well! I haven't been unfaithful, but does Diva being the child of avid tourists count for a troubled childhood? ;-)
