Week two - day one. And just after I wrote yesterday's entry, I looked to see that there's a copy of The Road to Corlay on top of the four piles of books on the shelf to the left of my desk. And this is the 1980s reprint which includes "Piper at the Gates of Dawn". So a) I think I may have three copies of this book (in two states) and b) I could have reread "Piper" before The Road to Corlay. Heigho.

A day of thirds - in the middle I was down the pub - with about half of it given to writing, something in excess of 3,000 words, as I wrote on Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, King Kong, and all but the Kinship novels of Cowper. So let's see, bits in three chapters. Seasonally adjusted, that makes:


41300 / 120000 words. 34% done!


I am not going to do a word count every day.

I also read the second Morgaine novel - which I will comment on after reading the third - and ordered or tried to order six more books I've missing.

  1. Kudos to Evan Davies who told Jim Naughtie off for thanking Andrew Marr on Monday's Toady programme at about 8.30. Marr had clearly been precorded and Naughtie - who should know better - wasn't fooling anyone.

  2. The Anthony Gormley statues seen in London are now lying on the roof of the De la Warr Pavilion - I feel a trip to Bexhill on Sea coming on. And maybe a visit to the bookshop.

  3. My blood pressure is up - having nearly forgotten to go into a well known pharmacy to pick up my prescription, I had to explain that my name wasn't Batch, rather I had a batch prescription lodged with them. Further I had to explain that these were situated through the back. I had brought six psecriptions in a month ago, and this was not the last one. And as it was already signed and dated, I didn't need to sign and date it. I begin to regret telling the doctor - who had, after all, talked me into using this scheme "for the convenience" - that I had finally got them trained at the chemist after two years. Frankly, going in the the surgery to drop off a repeat prescription and picking it up 48 hours later is less stressful.
