Reading day

Marginally brighter today, and didn't sleep during the day. Mainly lying about like a slug in the afternoon. Certainly no walking. Sylwia gave me a little mug with Pete needs coffee NOW! written on it, which was very sweet of her. At my desk this morning but can't focus. A few emails though, one to the people who had rejected Gordon Road, they were quite nice about it though, so it is only civil to reply nicely thanking them.  

Jason and Derek with Pat and Maureen today, having survived their horrendous journey. Lorraine at home for some of the day, but involved in all kinds of admin for them.

I am enjoying reading though. I bought the physical book of Powsels and Thrums by Alan Garner, having listened to it as an audiobook.  Some of what he writes about his creativity I find very interesting. Began reading The White People and Other Weird Stories, by Arthur Machen. I bought the book a while ago and read a story or two from it, now can feast on the whole thing. Was listening to a podcast about The White People, which prompted me to pick it up again. 

Guy Fawkes Night. A cracks and bangs from next door, with five kids, but otherwise quiet reigns over this part of Seaford.
