The final day and I’m ahead, but only barely. Day One was good, Day Two not as good as it might have been and Day Three a washout. I’ve had a few firsts; I’ve had too many seconds, Gerri Colombe on Wednesday being the most painful and costly of them.

Had the short head gone the other way I’d be well ahead for the festival. And yes, ifs and ands and pots and pans and all of that, and doubtless I wouldn’t be home washing my hair tonight were Scarlett Johansson on my speed dial, except she isn’t. Et cetera et cetera.
