A rebours




Guy with rather fetching hat. he told me that he tried to buy it off an Australian- it was a Crocodile Dundee type hat- which he was living in the Canaries. The Aussie refused but on leaving left the hat in the hotel for the man to have. A nice story

I mention the feast scene in the Huysmans novel when he has a feast entirely comprising of black food. It was the sight of olives that bought on the recollection. In the book the aristocrat dines on olives, bread, wine, caviar and everything black. Man said he saw a dish with sqiud ink all over. It was not attractive

Man thought that the pice I did on Jack Williams who was a former teacher and early in his life a RAF pilot flying bombers. A very unassuming man

The next bloke thought that that I was the best writer in the Post and Times which was a nice thing to say
