- 10:13am: After a couple of hours the novelty of the whirring hydraulic crane cleaning the windows the office across the road is wearing off.
- 04:14pm: About to head toward @infovore.
- 04:43pm: Already bumped into two separate friends. London feeling pleasantly small.
- 08:22pm: At the Cross Kings to see Kids Love Lies, Pocketbooks and whichever youngsters are playing now. Fab place, but we feel a bit old and square.
- 10:12pm: Walking home. Kids Love Lies were awesome. I feel young again. But we were probably the only people who didn't know someone in a band.
On this day I was reading
