A moment in time

A quiet evening… sitting here waiting for the Australian Grand Prix TV coverage to start in about 20 minutes.

  • Reading: “I, Lucifer” by Glen Duncan (author of Death of an Ordinary Man)
  • Listening to: “No Roots” by Faithless. I love the way Maxi Jazz’s quietly insistent raps cut through Sister Bliss’s solid groove, how Dido adds ethereal gracenotes to the songs
  • Drinking: a couple of fingers of 10 year old Talisker, a single malt that captures some of the qualities of my two favourite – but radically different – Scotches: Macallan and Laphroaig
