This morning, during the Tube strike, I took the District line to work and actually arrived half an hour earlier than usual at work.

At night, when the Tube strike was supposed to be over, I walked for miles trying to find an empty bus because none of them had enough space for me and all the supposedly functioning Tube stations were locked shut.

At least the launch for our festival went really well tonight: we had about 60 people despite the terrible Mondayness of it all. The poet enjoyed himself, the organisers were happy and my boss congratulated me on getting the high commissioner for the poet's country to attend. We are all feeling so much more positive and hopeful that the marketing and press is finally working and things will turn out OK this month.

Thank you!

On an unrelated note, went to yoga again today and thought of you! I hope one day I can take a class with you. :-)

Ooh, I just got back from yoga! Yes, I envision one day we'll be doing downward dogs together...and then stopping at a coffee shop to write side-by-side. (I want you to give me some writing prompts.) =)

by the way, did you see JK Rowling interviewed by Oprah in Edinburgh? I watched it on youtube and really enjoyed it.

No, haven't seen the interview! Will search it out now.

Today we did the three warrior stances - the class only lasts an hour but it's a good post work out session (I went for a run around the park beforehand).

Yoga, coffee shop, writing - heaven!

Ok, throw in some running too -- How far do you run? I'm on this strange kick of running every day (41 days straight now) and I keep telling myself that if I can do it with running, surely I can create a daily habit of writing (*really* writing)!

Where shall we meet for our day of bliss?

I run - with a bit of walking - a full circuit of Victoria Park, which I think is about 5 miles. Today, though, I felt I could have down two circuits - the sun was out and the air had that crisp quality of early autumn that kept my body cool and gave me more energy. It was lovely.

Where shall we meet for our day of bliss?

Let's leave it to fate. Could be San Diego. Could be São Paulo. Could be Bali... it will be somewhere surprising, that's for sure. :-)
