  1. Party. Baking. Baking. Baking. Baking. The Tassajara Bread Book has not let me down. Should open a bread shop.
  2. @davidhughes or possibly £24bn, if you believe Sky Sports. Financial crisis? What financial crisis?
  3. @davidhughes … and it's lovely to know that we are paying £12bn for them to do that.
  4. 'Standing on the edge of the Hoover Dam' #happy
  5. Got home to find 3 CD Copper Blue Remaster waiting for me. A major consolation for not being able to see @bobmouldmusic tomorrow evening.
  6. Another 500 words written. Plodding towards this weeks target. #amwriting
  7. Busy day at the office. twitter.com/blacknotebook/…
  8. Train on time. Comfy seat. Coffee. Sunny Day. New notebook and a new chapter idea to work on. Heading off to Devon. What's not to like.
  9. At 64k words, another 1k to go to hit this week's target. #amwriting
  10. A misplaced notebook is a cause for sadness. Better trust that my memory is working to recover what I've lost.
  11. It's a Nick Cave sort of afternoon. #music #amwriting
  12. I'm in the office. Phone in the flat. #notawake
  13. @davidhughes AA Bondy - Believers / The XX - XX / The The - Infected / U.N.K.L.E War Stories
  14. Sodium lit motorways, with not a car in sight, empty London streets. I love night driving.
  15. Started the week with 62400 words - target is to get to 65000 by Friday.
  16. Writing and listening to Copper Blue as I can't make the UK date of the @bobmouldmusic European tour. Great album. Always makes me smile.
  17. If there is an upside to virus induced dreams it does give me new ideas for the book. That's the only upside.
  18. Novel #1: Lost: I'm going to a writers retreat in the Autumn and I had set my self a target of finishing the fir... bit.ly/LfCGd3
  19. @davidhughes will post some when I get back to the flat.
  20. I should be finishing a short story for a competition deadline. Putting my gear in my new satchel counts as "preparation", doesn't it?
