24.12.2006 – Sunday 24 December – Mum

Morning

• Bronwen attended a Christmas party, and I attended to myself.

Afternoon

• The hero met his mother, as befits the end of a Greek tragedy. The setting—Roma Street Train Station, having just rushed back from buying cheap takeaway food—was less fitting.

Night

• The mother, the girlfriend, and the hero went out to dinner, where they ate too much Indian curry.
