Western Europe is in big trouble for the next few days on account of the heatwave . . . Young Gego and I are hiding out in my high tower here in Berlin, which is now in Submarine Mode. I’ve drawn two layers of blackout curtains over all the windows and the fan is on high blast. Gego, who is a bit of a deadbeat, can usually be found in front of it . . . and despite permanently wearing a fur coat, he seems relatively unbothered. But today was just the practice round. The main event is this weekend. Will we survive . . . ? Of course we will. Gego and I are unkillable. Or didn’t you know?
