Sunday 26th October 2025

Woke around 0900, only to find it was actually 0800, as the clocks had gone back. Got up. Avocado toast for breakfast. Headed for Brixton…got a Victoria line train from Finsbury Park. Got to the cafe, Parisi, a little early, and had to wait for a table. Tom Wicks and Hayley turned up first…hadn’t been told they were coming, so that was a nice surprise. Jim and Katherine turned up next, then Barney and Jen…enjoyed a catch up over a slow brunch. 

Barney and Jen have moved into a flat around the corner, just off Effra Road, and have the option to purchase it after 12 months. Barney is due to go on a short European tour with MRCY before Xmas. We walked over to The Dairy where Barney has a new recording studio, which he’s renting off Nitin Sawhney. It’s a much bigger room than his previous studio, but looks like it still needs a bit of tidying up, though he’s been working in there with Jesse Ware. Exciting times! We said our goodbyes and headed home, eager to avoid the football crowd coming out of the Emirates after the game with Crystal Palace. Warmed up the last of the lamb stew for dinner. Cherry tart and ice cream for afters. Watched The Ridge, a new BBC thriller set in NZ…dreadful! Bath and bed…
