‘I grew up in a sailing family. However, my wife and son are land lubbers not sea dogs, so it’s a major breakthrough that they’ve finally agreed to come sailing around the Greek islands with me this August, the trade-off being a week flopping about in a villa in Meganissi. I might do some writing on the island. I’m only about three years behind on a book, so I don’t want to rush things, especially in a month that’s pretty much the definition of laziness. Or maybe I’ll use the time to refine my procrastination technique. I’m particularly good at sorting pebbles on a beach as the sun goes down.’
