Hi Rosetta,
Great to catch up with you at the poetry night. How have you been?
I arrived at Heathrow 4 a.m. this morning. Caught a black cab to Cartwright Gardens in Bloomsbury, then lay down on the sofa of my suite to catch the early morning British news. That’s the last thing I remember. It is now 6 p.m.
Woke an hour ago after a nasty dream that I’d missed my plane due to The Isle of Wight declaring war on every nation in the Southern Hemisphere. An alarming example of ‘fight or flight’.
My hotel is situated on a crescent that’s lined with concave Regency apartments and the odd shade tree. It’s pretty misty out there now—dusk and haze intermingled. No wind about,
