I’m absolutely exhausted! Marcus, David and Flynn came round to help me and Disha paint my room today. I could only find three rollers, so Disha and I did the woodwork with brushes. It looks well wicked! We did the walls purple and the woodwork black. It’s v sophisticated, but powerful and moody at the same time. You can imagine someone sitting in it, writing poetry and listening to jazz. (Which, of course, is what I plan to do!)
Started The Outsider. The narrator’s mother dies on page one, which seems promising. I fell asleep though before I could get any further. Thank God I didn’t get Ulysses, or I’d be reading it for the rest of my life!!!
