How can it be so long

since I last wrote anything? The summer seems to have evaporated in my hands (again). I am still watching and wondering but writing little.

Today the news is trying to make out that many parts of Britain are like The Wire. I'm reading The Corner which is about the time the writers spent in Baltimore - it's very good but don't think Britain is quite the same.Drugs are certainly a problem and available everywhere, but haven't seen any open air markets as in The Wire. Drugs are a global business now, and so there might be places but don't think anything is quite that open.Perhaps indoor markets rather than outdoor markets.

But for now back to writing and trying to resist the compelling story of the Corner
