Saturday

Nothing much in the media - I was frankly disgusted by the Daily Mail, not for the usual reasons, but because they did a bad thing on the Message Boards - there is a long and detailed article about the dead code breaker in London - essentially starting every sentence with " The Mail can now exclusively reveal he was not a homosexual / prostitute / fetishist / transvestite / etc - The mail can reveal he could not have locked himself in the suitcase "- you get the general idea - refuting everything they have, themselves - claimed as an 'exclusive' already. My comment went along the the same lines as above - and chastised them for their general shittyness - however, they edited it to say 'The Mirror' can now reveal - airbrushing themselves from fault... cunts.

I was up early and cycled down to Peter Quinnell's beach hut to collect some art he had for me - I like being a patron of the arts, although I don't now how I can afford it - I was down to £4 at one point this week. On my return I cleaned the house - and I decided to have another look at the kitchen - the smell was back again this week and I don't know why - it's been cleaned and cleaned - there is nowhere any vermin could get in, and the poison has stopped vanishing.

In a sudden flash of inspiration - I opened up the hidden panel in the large range cooker - where you can keep large oven trays etc. All was revealed - it was full of cotton wool - don't know where from - ad evidence of nesting and rodent piss, plus the remains of a couple of dessicated frogs. All clean now - and chemically protected. And no smell.

They were assembling an art installation on the seafront - it's an illuminated thing that's for one night only - I might try and get down for it later.

I have loads to do and next week is going to be really busy - but I felt really rough today, I hope I'm not coming down with anything, very bad timing.
