The most extraordinary dreams last night. Mum has two IVF babies, a boy and a girl. The boy has no genitals, he’s like a doll. In every other way he is perfect. The babies are small and perfect like large dolls, but alive with lovely soft skin and they are cute and smiling. Mum says the boy’s genitals can be added later.

I don’t have to go to Katoomba. I could move to Perth or Brisbane, where it’s warmer.

I’ve DONE Newtown.

Incense is curling through the air. Nag Champa. There is my well-thumbed copy of The Golden Notebook.
