A book launch.

 On Sunday afternoon on a sweltering day in London - I went to join friends and family at a book launch of one of my oldest friends. We were studying at the London School of Economics in the early 1979’s. His latest tomb - has the catchy title Reflecting,  Critically on the Political Psyche. Normally these events are held at the Freud Museum in Hampstead. But not today as we sweated - in his roomy fourth floor flat. There were re of course speeches, but you never hear a criticism of his oeuvre  - it’s as if these tablets came down from Mount Zion. Nevertheless it was a jolly affair, and I met his three children after many years. In particular I  was pleased to see my - goddaughter Lydia, she is expecting a baby in October. The other two, Joel and Raffle looked well and happy. Many year’s ago from January 1995 to September 2003 - I shared a house with him. I had a consultation room at the top of the house and he had his on the ground floor. Very happy memories of these years sharing. I then obtained a cottage on a private estate in Kent, Penshurst, which my - children and patients loved to come down to.
