So, yesterday I had an email from broadmeadow. In response to my last post here, he tells me that dirth is spelled "dearth". I have consulted with my advisors and, as a last resort, checked in a dictionary. It seems he is correct.

What a ridiculous way to spell a word. Whose idea was that ?

Saturday was a day of culture: the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and the Tate Modern. OK, if we're strictly accurate, four of us went to see ( Jeffrey Lewis @ ICA )

Then we went ( to peer into a crack )

Then we decided that was enough culture, went to a variety of nautically-named pubs, and ate prodigious quantities of Japanese food.
