Yes, I can see why you're pissed off, darling. Even if they are different news sources, hmm, yes, how easy it is to slap the looter tag on the black guy.

Having said which, I think it's been accepted that people who loot food/water have a valid motive at the moment, seeing as there is none in the city. Not that it actually has any link with your remark.

And nice to see you're still around, dude.

Not bad - we're having an Indian summer right now in London, and I've got a couple of days off work, so hopefully I should be able to relax a bit. And life is ticking over. What about you, how's the writing going?

(and I'm about to go to bed so don't worry if I don't reply immediately...)

"The writing?" What's that? Pretty much not going anywhere. Outside my obligations I am pretty much not writing anything. How about you?

Days off rock! We have tomorrow off (Labor Day) so I have just been lazing about. I already know that waking up on Tuesday's going to be a bitch 'cos I have so much work to do. I think I might even do some tomorrow.
