Last evening Pond and I ventured back to Victoria Street, and the old Friday Project local, the Victoria.

It was the first time we’ve been back there since leaving TFP so it was nice to see that nothing had chanced. Same smoke; same excellent sausages and mash; same queues of American tourists snaking up the stairs to see the portraits of every British Prime Minister there’s ever been (Tony’s is the only one that’s autographed. Go. Figure.)

We were there to catch up with Clare Weber who - while we were at TFP - was Assistant Editor but now, I’m very delighted to say, has been promoted to Editor. It was the first time Clare had been in the Albert since we left too. Things have clearly changed at TFP.

But anyhow, Clare ticked me off for not updating the blog often enough. Protests of my recent life-threatening illness; subsequent caffeine withdrawal and ongoing company launching carried no weight. I am, apparently, letting people down by not cataloguing the minutiae of my working life; the day-to-day bullshit of launching a new company.

So, ok, I’m sorry. From this day forth I shall blog with the diligence of Anne Frank.

…

Now there’s someone whose Myspace page I’d like to see.

…

I bet it wouldn’t have any of that loud music that suddenly plays with no warning when the page finishes loading.

…

Currently listening to: footsteps.
