Having got to the Holloway Road early to meet Furtle for lunch, getting back to the Athenaeum Club has taken much longer and that was despite catching a bus instead of walking the length of Holloway Road. We had rather tasty panini sandwiches in a nice little Italian cafe just down from the college and then mooched around Morrison's in a fruitless search for Eccles Cakes.

The quest continues.

I stopped off in a very small bookshop and obtained a copy of Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head which analyses the Beatles' musical output in their '60s context song-by-song. It is a highly regarded book in the sphere and I don't quite know why I haven't picked it up before.

Now I think that I shall hammer some nails in the wall and hang some prints.

I was going to watch the Spurs v Sevilla game on telly tonight, not because I am a Spurs fan per se but because a number of my friends are.

2-0 down on the night, 4-1 down on aggregate and 15 minutes not yet played. My morale crumpled on my friends' behalf. I may check later, but I suspect it will feel like the sport equivalent of prodding a dead sheep to see what crawls out.

Later
Denied a clear penalty and with just a bit of luck running their way, they could still have pulled it off. Out of the cup, but nonetheless A for effort and honour intact.
