Final computerising and packing ahead. A FrippMobile call for 12.45.

On the step, a Glum Sistery, modeling an Edie Fripp knitted pink pigs cardigan…

Into the SisteryMobile I…

Straightforward movement through procedures, although I always twitch.
Into the Nobbo lounge I…

… for tasty things…
Behind the tasty-food area, a loud shouting-conversation between staff. Perhaps, if they feel themselves to be invisible, also inaudible?
E-news of the non-industry dissensionary kind: a royalty cheque from Bennett Books has been received by a member of the JGB Estate. It is marked partial, and has no accounting details to substantiate how-much-a-part-of-whatever-it-might-be. The cheque is 7.5 months late with no covering letter. I have not myself been notified of it, although I am the person nominated by the Estate to deal with Bennett Books. As a form of accounting, this is inadequate and will be returned to Bennett Books as unacceptable.
16.04 Off to the gate.
20.34 UA 930 SF>London.
Arriving at the gate c. 16.15…

Late arrival of the incoming ‘plane and cleaning, then an overhead bin failing to lock, then the galley food-lift malfunctioning. The attempt to repair it was abandoned. We boarded c. 17.25.
A good seat I…

… for an estimated 09’50” in the air.
A good Fripp Kids Christmas-Comes-Early Holiday.
