Went for £5 eat all you can vegetarian buffet with Helen and Fuad last night. So fucking good to see him again, I've missed the boy so much. Slipped comfortably back in to old jokes and conversational rhythms.... Inevitable political discussions with a sprinkling of gossip and racial bantering. Perfect. I love a bit of cultural tourism, me. Apparently.

Hels keeps trying to persuade me to go to Morrocco with her in a couple of weeks. Using the fact that the Sahara is there as an incentive. Temptress...
