Gowing and Cummings popped over to fix an evening at Corton. Since it was wet, Gowing asked Cummings whether he’d fancy a game of pool (he knows I never play: I think it’s doubtful). Cummings said he had to head back. I was mortified when Lupin said to Gowing “Mate, I’ll give you a game for a tenner! It’ll help me work up an appetite for dinner”. I said “Perhaps Mister Gowing isn’t up for a game with someone of your age”. Gowing surprised me by saying “No probs. As long as he can play a bit – he’s my man”, and off they went together.

Why shouldn’t
I publish
my diary?
I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
