14th December, 2020.
It’s officially official.
I’m in a mild rush.
I’ve got an engineer down to install software on the by now notorious laptop.
At ten.
And I’ve got a phone meeting with my Shaw Trust meeting.
At ten.
I’ll get the hang of this diary thing, I swear blind!

Just as a quick thought?
David Cornwell has died: of pneumonia, at the age of 89.
If you don’t know the name?
You’ll know him under his pen name: John Le Carré.
I’ve only read three of his works: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy*, and The Honourable Schoolboy. But with their deeply ambiguous tone? A tone unlike Fleming or Forsyth? They are quite something to read.
Possibly now is a good time to read A Legacy of Spies, the last of Le Carré’s novels.
It seems only right.
