Hey Jo

This evening did not go to plan. I was to take one of the winter celebration cakes which Roland had baked round to my friend Jo on my way from work and then we would both go to see some friends of mine play at a venue in the city.

But we hadn't seen each other for a while and time just whizzed by. Her chairs were comfy, the wine was chilled, the pizza delicious and we just talked. And talked. And talked. As you do. And I got to practice my indoor shots. As you can see here.

And I must be up early in the morning as I'm going to a conference in London on identifying and resisting the enemies of democracy in 2014. It's a free event and I have managed to get cheap rail tickets. So cheap that I'm getting the 6am train. Even though registration isn't until 9.30.
