In the offices of the city

The Scoop's back open soon - free films, in the open air. Moulin Rouge, unfortunately clashes with existing plans, but Walk the Line's quite tempting.

all because you made me laugh

It's right on that cusp between glorious and actually too hot and sunny today. Hopefully it will have cooled off a little by the time I'm walking up to Saddler's Wells. I walked down from Embankment to Tower Bridge last night, just around sunset, and that was perfect - warm with cool breezes and the sounds of the water. I do love living in London sometimes, I really do.

Like, for example, Tuesday, when I got to sit in a room with my best and oldest friend, S, and listen to Stephen Fry and Phil Jupitus be mad and erudite for an hour or two - and Alan 'puppy' Davies won which made us feel very special indeed. The other two guests were a comedian I've never noticed before, and one I generally find faintly annoying, so it was nice to watch him being put down by Mr Fry occasionally. Ahh QI filming - all hail Applause Store and the wonderful Miss S - not least because she's scored another set of tickets, so we'll be doing that again in a couple of weeks.
