More and more of my circle of friends are celebrating 40th birthdays which seems entirely impossible. I think of us all as green behind the ears students finding our way through the world, full of life (and energy), plotting our futures. There is so much we've all done with our lives, marriages, children, careers...and still so much more to come. So sorry, we may be trying to age gracefully, but in my mind we're still 20, drunk and roaring with laughter and probably always will be.

Books again.

I got bored last weekend and organised my books by colour. You can see the evidence of the DULLNESS of my life to the right.

Last week a Trond, Ben and I went to the Robert Mappelthorpe exhibition at the Alison Jacques Gallery. Fantastic show, but I'm afraid the art was eclipsed by meeting Patti Smith and seeing Jude Law and Sadie Frost (and her first ex, Gary Kemp).

This week I start my tenure as board member of D & AD, an educational charity championing creativity in business.
