Borders had a copy of The Charioteer. In fact it had two copies, one with the doe-eyed boy on the front, and another two-tone grey copy, which I bought because it was cheaper. Reading it is compulsive, like eating chocolate when you really crave it. I just can't stop, even though I want to make it last.
I won't see G now for a year or two, unless I can afford to drag my sorry carcass across the planet to New Zealand or Australia. India looks a bit more likely, maybe next year, or Sri Lanka, all places I've never been and would love to visit. We went to Yo Sushi in Selfridges where we drank expensive Japanese beer and ate slightly less expensive noodles, wandered about a bit and drooled in the stationary department, then went for chocolate and cake. Then finally it was goodbye and time to be dragged into a photobooth for some silly pictures.
I really will get round to answering comments soon, too, after finishing the paper-that-ate-my life. It's a good job that my co-author is also my ultimate boss, so he can waive my other work aside.
