To Dublin, London, Surrey, Cardiff, 'Home'

I'm sitting in a net café in Covent Garden. I have that distinctive travelling smell on me.

Update: I'm sitting in another 'Net cafe, next to these nice people.

5/8/06: I'm sitting in a hotel room in Cardiff, my window overlooking the Cardiff Castle, where there were fireworks exploding in the sky; sixth floor -- louder up here. Think Afghanistan with colours. Many thanks to everyone who came to see us read.

Nice one to the person who rifled my stack of poems when I went to the bar, picking out a small selection for themselves. I don’t mind; but needless to say (I hope), if they turn up published somewhere, I will become severely hazardous to your health =). I’m sure they were simply interested in what I read, but you never know. . . .

Poems I read included:

Should There be Any Decrease in Cabin Pressure
Working title: She arrived, creaming
sachet trajectory split in sharp f
Working title: disparate sense of salt
Counting Light Waves
New Summer
Seven Signs of Falling in Love with Your Dog
