Lunch with Christine is always a delight, despite us swapping details of recent devastations. After that - back to the office to find my new copy of The World of Anjali, something Cynical Ben prompted me to acquire, and my West Midlands Fencing hoodie, with the slogan 'Bend Sinister' emblazoned on the back.
Why, you may ask? It's a triple intertext. Bend Sinister is the title of a 1947 Nabokov novel, of my favourite album by The Fall, and I set my blade to the left. Wonder how many fencers will spot any of these…

I thought it might refer to the side you dressed on.
