Hey All,

Yesterday:

Nenad's Austrian friend missed her flight to Berlin, and as such will be staying here in Leytonstone for a day or two.

I ran into her at Tesco while I was buying an inexpensive electric pencil sharpener (I had unearthed a bunch of pencils while re-organising everything). I had just gone there after sending another application to Foyles from the net cafe.

She told me that Scotland is beautiful, and that there is a Public School in Edinburgh that probably served as the inspiration (in atmosphere at least) for Hogwarts in Harry Potter.

Today:

Signed on at the Jobcentre. Two weeks time I have my 13 Week Interview. There was supposed to be some letter telling me about that, but I think it got lost in the works (I've had trouble with my mail lately in the block of flats). In any case the Jobcentre Clerk printed me a copy of the letter.

After that I dropped some too long jeans I've had for about a year in to be taken up, and then got talking to three student girls from Brighton.

They were heading to Barcelona. Alex, studying philosophy, a girl from Oregon studying pure mathematics name Monika and another one studying Geography, but I can't remember her name (strangely she was the loudest of the group).

We parted at Stratford, where I raided the newsagent, then headed back to leytonstone.

Later I returned Fool's Fate to the Stratford Library and borrowed a bunch of books, including Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy, a couple of SF novels and a couple of books about freelance writing.

My early evening was taken up ironing the clothes that I had left drying over the last two days while listening to the La's first album (£3 at HMV - There She Goes is still one of my favourite songs of all time).

Tonight: reading my new books.

Tomorrow - onwards and upwards.

Time to go here.

Over and out.

J
