Saturday, November 14/2015


Yesterday Friday 13th and as we were falling asleep we heard the first reports of the Massacre. This following some 40 deaths in Beirut on Thursday. And as the day progresses the news continues to get worse, first on radio and television and then, at Starbucks over the internet.

At Starbucks yesterday's oddball is back this morning. Same clothes, suitcase, laptop. Scratch the catching a train theory. Carton of orange juice today. Is this the breakfast and (limited) toiletry location and is there another spot - all night café? - for the nights? Possible on the weekend to ride the tube all night.

Should be more ambitious but BBC is carrying qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix, so we watch. Nico Rosberg takes pole. Nothing against Lewis Hamilton, but nice to see someone else getting a look in. Reminiscent of the old days of watching the inevitable Schumi win.
