Night out with My Double was great: and I was convinced that it wasn’t going to be. After all, there aren’t many people that you can “pick up with” naturally after an absence of seven years, but that’s what happened.
We went to my club and (in the great tradition thereof) found a room that was entirely unoccupied, where we stayed until midnight talking about film, publishing, Fiona Shaw and marriage – the “big themes” in life. Whether or not we’ll see each other again, I don’t know – we may have scratched that itch and now it’s done, or he may become a regular fixture. Either way, I’m glad that we met up and that it was so reassuringly natural.
