Room 101

For Winston Smith in 1984, this room contained his worst fear. For me, it was just the usual collection of hotel furniture.

I'm down in Dudley again, and for a change I'm not in a room in a far flung corner of the building. I'd brought my laptop with me, but I was disappointed not to be able to establish a wi-fi connection. I was tired, but I didn't sleep very well - disturbed dreams of trying to write a 3 part tv comedy drama about a night class - and my shoulder was aching. I'm not sure if it is a muscular ache or something deeper in the joint, but it is worrying me. I really don't want an injury in my fencing arm and I think I am going to have to start doing more left handed practice to balance the strain a little more.
