Not much posting for a while. I seem to have been rushing around with barely time to ponder the ever-growing pile of mugs requiring washing up in my kitchen, or re-stock my biscuit supply. That's busy.

Main activity has been season 3 of NSN24. Opening night was last sunday and it was a cracking show. Amazing energy from the crew and although not a big audience those that were there seemed to really enjoy it. And I was able to answer that eternal question "Where do London's Brazillian men go on a Sunday night?" They go to watch Brazillian footy at the Oxford Arms in Camden, so that's another mystery solved. Anyhow - 2 more NSNs this season, plus another corporate gig for eBay (a repeat booking!) so don't be afraid to come along.

On Tuesday I went to an amazing talk by Alan Hinkes, the first Brit to climb all 14 8000m mountains. He's an ebullient Yorkshireman and I warm to anyone whose most common phrases are "Brilliant!" and "I nearly died!", though seldom in the same sentance. He showed the most extraordinary photo taken from the summit of K2 as the sun set behind him. The shadow of K2 stretched out as a perfect triangle before him, 1000s of kilometers all the way to the horizon and he was on the top of it. Incroyable.

Am also excited about a lot of stuff:

• This cold winter we've been promised. Come friendly snow and fall on me!
• Christmas in Chamonix. Woo hoo!
• Going on a date. The perpetual triumph of hope over experience but what the hell
• More NSN
• "Far Away" the new Martha Wainwright single. Yum

I wouldn't mind if work got a bit more exciting but it should pick up soon. So things are OK
