How good is that, Mems?!!!! Well caught!! Tis true - nothing better than hanging out with bent men.
And yes - Timmy looks great, and sounds even better.
You'll never believe what happened outside this pub while Davey went to get the car. Chris Childers stood on the edge of the footpath with Gregory Dowling and me, and he recited from memory Richard Wilbur's 'Lying'. He continued to recite when, midway, Davey pulled up with the car, and he did not miss a beat.
It was astounding. And for me, certainly one of the highlights... this beautiful, young man, without guile or self-consciousness, passionately declaiming to us and the evening sky, the wondrous lines of a great American master poet.
Unforgettable.
