My ANU email (all ANU email) is down until 5 pm. If you need me this morning, please ring . If it can wait, I promise I'll check up this evening.

This morning is writing time. I declared to myself abundantly that I would write so many thousand words. So far, I have pruned 100 and gently trimmed here and there. Two chapters look much neater and flow and don't contradict things that happen later. One day, there will also be new words...thousands of them. Hundreds and thousands. In the meantime, I need morning tea. (I don't often have morning tea, but today I need it because I shall be having a very late lunch and a very strange dinner. Morning tea is toasted lavash with mascarpone and grated chocolate, for those whose souls contain the possibility of envy.) After morning tea, I shall write words! Many thousands!
