Just back from London on the sleeper this morning. One lesson learned there was that if Bill Carter invents a new cocktail - the 'Tiger Lily' in this case - the chances are that it is semi-lethal. But while the effects began to wear off, I sat on his sofa fiddling with his new 19th-century guitar, on which he's going to make the first ever recording of Fernando Sor's music without fingernails.
