To Cadogan Hall to see Richard Thompson.

[Burney]

I know precisely one Richard Thompson song.

There is going to be fretwánking, isn't there?

I’m rather keen, as you know. You’re going with r, aren’t you?

Do bear in mind that Thompson is an Allan these days - albeit a Sufi one.

Yes, it is her christmas or birthday present apparently. I know nothing of these matters, as you know.

I like the one about the motorbicycle. That's nice.

It would be good if that Sandy Denny Lane joined him on stage, it would be a sort of Faces/Fairport Convention reunion. Although the dead thing makes it seem unlikely.

Dinner at Café Colbert. That's the bit I'm looking forward to. They do an excellent steak tartare and a rather marvellous choucroute.

Yes, she told me about it when we met last week. Sounds jolly. He does a good line in break-up songs also. He does wear rather a silly hat, though :-/

I wish you joy of the evening.

You are kind. I shall drink no more than two glasses of wine.

Are you driving?

[Sir C]

Are you driving?

No, I shall take the rattler. Public transport in London is so convenient, don't you find?

Not really. It’s a bit smelly.

More convenience than convenient.
