Lazy Saturday morning followed by a trip to the gym with my landlady/friend Meg and her fiancé Dylan. Left the house at 12.05 and was surprised to only get back at 3pm. The gym is a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e. when empty. Building a gym routine, building muscles, building ties to Mile End... good ways of beating the Winter when it finally arrives. So far, this has been the warmest October in London since we moved here. After our work out, we walked through Mile End park and enjoyed the warmth, the circle of students sharing a spliff, the ducks in the canal...

Arrived home to find Kevin preparing butternut squash soup. Have been invited to the movies tonight with my gym buddies, to see The Departed, as well as have a drink with Kevin's friend Osmo.

Will go lie on the bed after this and finish On Beauty.
