I have of late, and wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth. It increasingly feels like London has nothing to keep me here (outside a few people I obviously like very much), and the last half of 2006 was mainly hateful and all of it at home, and my bathroom is being refitted and is doorless so I’m getting out again.

The first few weeks of 2007 has been/is going to be about Madrid, Barcelona, Baltimore, Washington DC, Leeds (ahem), Gran Canaria and, I found out today, India. Well, it’s a day out, isn’t it?
