Being between gainful employmentI can piss about on the internet in the evening without feeling I've wasted daylight hours.
£61 worth of plants this morning - garden is now starting to look the way I thought it should be when I bought the house.
Out with the dogs this afternoon - sunlight and shade in a bluebell wood. More life, light and shade than anything the internet can synthesise.
Re-reading "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis - a book that has a peculiar resonance with b3ta.

Lewis is my favourite authorUnfortunately he was a chronic alcoholic.
He'd stay sober when writing but about 75% of the way through each book you could sense that he wanted a drink, so the ends are always a bit of an anti-climax.
If you can find it try "It can't happen here." Incredible book to say it was written in 1936.
