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…

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.

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…

A good Fripp Kids Christmas-Comes-Early Holiday.
