La$t Minute
Got a cameraman for Monday’s shoot. Very much “last minute dot com” and costing me 3x original price. There goes my profit margin. Actually, there goes my entire profit. Damn.

Whirlwind
Tube journey number 5. iPod on shuffle heading to meeting number 2. Eating a Caramac. Swear you can taste the granules of sugar. Meeting a potential narrator for the documentary. Running a wee bit late. My own fault as usual.

To Do Today
Already a busy afternoon - got to keep my thoughts straight on this! Off to Westbourne Grove to scout locations to shoot street scenes & interviews next week. Putting a sample of archive material on DVD for meetings tomorrow. Need to buy padded enveloped & paper. Got to put together a more firm proposal for Sky News too. Sure there’s something I’ve forgotten…

In the coming daze
Got an interesting & busy week days coming up.
Friday: Dropping off more fat clothes to a charity shop in Ealing, then my first ever tweetup for a drink with a writer who specialises in economic stuff. And drinks with producer-extraortinaire and close personal confidante Nicola at night.
Saturday / Sunday: Finish the damn video project and get it online. It’s weeks overdue and...

Taxi Price
Well that was a waste of £40 for a taxi all the way across London! I should decide either to a) leave earlier for home while the tubes are still running or b) stay out all night.

Bad Chef Week
Tough week to be a British celebrity chef. Been noticing lots of bad headlines!
First, dozens of diners at Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant in Bray got sick from some sort of food poisoning (never good, the same week you launch a new TV show!) Then, one of the Sunday tabloids published claims Gordon Ramsey’s footballing past might have been more fiction than fact. And if that...
