Ra Twenty Years Ago Today!
I heard yesterday that a guy I knew very well at university was coming for his tea tomorrow night. We can do that conversation you see on the tv when you're a kid: Why, how long ago was it? Twenty years, eh? Anyway, I haven't seen him for twenty years!!
One of the books on my site is called Alma Mater. This was the first thing I tried to write after leaving university. I re-wrote it a few times thereafter, but I don't think I've had a go at it for at least fifteen years. I had to read it when I was scanning it, etc. Didn't really ever shape us as a novel, but I'm glad I wrote it. I'll read it again when I'm in my seventies, if I last that long. Anyway, this guy who's coming tomorrow night shared a student house with me in third year and we went away across Europe and North Africa in a caravanette during 1974. Be nice to see him, indeed!
Light in the Dark is still on the slush pile of Chicken House. I should be hustling other stuff, but I really can't be bothered! This is not a good attitude. Fancy having a bad attitude!
Everything continues to advance on the bliss front!

I think the guy you mean was one of the bad influences who were all happy to help in my downfall. Give him my best. Or my email address.
Always nice to see a good ol' friend.
Twenty years, that is a long time!
Have fun!
