... of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and most horrid is emotional blackmail ... whilst for this blogger, the only sacred thing is life itself

news of the screws
i was sitting besides a trolley in the accident and emergencies circus this afternoon when a prisoner with head injuries was wheeled in to the next bay
the prison officer who was keeping an eye on things and remained next to the trolley pulled out a packet of crisps and ate them noisily
then he swaggered over to the bin that was clearly labelled for re-cycling only, and re-cycled the empty packet

insomniac's consolations ( i )
i've been awake for almost a week with a heavy cold that likes to shift itself from one uncomfortable part of the body to another whenever i imagine it vanquished
i've always struggled to read methodically ... i'm rarely truly comfortable with larger books, i have a poor attention span and an itch to skip a few pages, and a kind of laziness with small print, especially in long paragraphs
not only did the loved one discover a lectern in a charity shop, but she also she went out and bought a huge "daylight" lamp, the Lumie Brightspark, which is transforming my experience of reading into something more intense and rewarding
now i just need to catch up on all that lost sleep
insomniac's consolations ( ii )
the loved one bought Paintings in Proust for me a couple of christmasses back
on this christmas eve she arrived home from the library with Proust's Overcoat, and it was only after deeply enjoying this little christmas jewel that i noticed it had been translated by the same writer
happy new year mister karpeles, and miss foschini, i am deeply indebted
