On Reading

Hi Adair. Following a stimulating day of unblocking, and a stimulating night of dancing around a bonfire (at Northey Street City Farm for Solstice!), I’m left trying to remember that part of your blog that you pointed me towards – the part about reading. Sorry, I’m a bit tired and information-saturated. I just recall that you told me about it when I was saying: I don’t get around to reading much lately and I feel that’s my main inadequacy. I need something to “kick me up the arse” so to speak! Thanks again. Lisa and I were very pleased to be unblocked. It only took a gentle nudge.

  Hi Justine!
  
  It was so good to see you again! Glad you had the energy to dance all night. Me? I climbed into bed at 8.20…

  I hope to see you at the Irish Club on June 30 for Kylie Kwong and John Birmingham. (Tell your friends!)
