Sounds like Bonfire of the Vanities, John. I’m exhausted just reading it. Have you heard the saying Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance or should we go with The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men Gang Aft Agley?
It does indeed sound like BOTV, Katharine, which I am again fastidiously spelling correctly! I hadn’t thought of that. But please don’t speak to me of poor planning. I left at 15.10. It’s around a 55-minute journey, by bus and District Line train, and then on foot, to where I needed to be. London Transport has a cruel sense of humor.
I kept reading on tenterhooks, hoping you found the bookstore! I can imagine how frustrating it was to not only be able to see well, but the fact that Google maps wasn’t not helping at all. I’ll check out the Bowie book. You do have a lovely signature…crazy how people think only women have nice signatures.
Nice penmanship John! As I get older my penmanship has suffered, but the checks I sign still go through..I know London has a lot of traffic, do they have Uber there?
Oh, do they! And Bolt, and probably a dozen others I'd know about if I ever left this room. And Let's Eat. Whereas in Slovenia and Malta, most meals are delivered by Wolt!

Thanks for reading!

Many thanks, Cecilia. If you advise of your email address (via my own, johnmendelssohn@gmail.com) I’ll send you the text of the book and some photos.
Thank you, John! I certainly shall forward my email.
