Day 0432

Brunched in the hotel in the sun, working away on my MacBook like a tosser, sipping coffee and spattering myself with croissant flakes, also like a tosser. Practised speaking English to the French people who had the misfortune to transact with me.

Wandered over to my friend's apartment, socially interacted then bought her lunch as a thank-you for condescending to spend time with me. Trecked across town to my impoverished neighbourhood, spoke some more English to the Filipino gentleman cleaning the apartment whilst I languished on the sofa waiting patiently for it all to be over.

I neither finished the work I should have finished yesterday nor did any painting nor debauched myself to any appreciable degree, so it is more or less business as usual.
