desperanceI was literally on my way upstairs to record here how I had just that minute decided to stop being angsty and become mellow - if the bath wasn't working now it would work later, and like that - when there was a thunder upon the door, and that was the plumbers.
Who dived beneath the tub and wrought mightily, and committed swearing - "These things are bulletproof, they never leak! But it's pissing out!!" - and eventually may have diagnosed the problem, and may even have fixed it. I won't really believe that until tonight, when I shall have a full hot bath and see (they weren't that sure themselves, and went away saying don't put the bath-panel back for a day or two, and if it happened again they'd just cut out that whole section of pipe, and like that); but clearly, mellow is the way to go. The world all falls into place, for the mellow mind.
In yesterday's news, I spent the afternoon drinking with Vinny Chong. Yes, that is indeed Vincent Chong the most extraordinary artist: for now it can be told, not only that Vinny lives in Newcastle and lets me drink with him, but also that he will be doing the cover for Desdaemona by Ben Macallan. I am ... more pleased at this than I can conceivably say.
