I started reading Wild Hall a few years ago. Very compelling, very well researched. It was featured in a creative nonfiction writing course even though it's fiction. Gorgeous photo
I cannot believe I've been meaning to read this for four days. Something truly awful has happened to time this year and, frankly, I'm considering pressing charges. I don't think I've ever been this discombobulated, this early on, before. Anyway, wasn't that line in WH gold! I'm very much enjoying it, thus far. Your footnotes always make me laugh (except that last one, which re-filled me with seething indignation at how bloody awful Tenet was!!)
Also just arrived home yesterday. Also didn’t write or read much 😆 also didn’t sleep on the planes but my husband and son both did as usual 😆 Also digging into Wolf Hall and catching up with a few more stories in the Walk series! Looks like we have a lot in common! 💜 😁
Hope the break from writing is somehow fruitful for you and your return to work has more intrigue than you imagined. I often find that coming back allows a freshness and little tweaks in how we do things. Happy new year!
Welcome home, and I hope you find the return to routine as comforting as a good pair of jeans. I myself have ordered a few new books so I can kickstart my stack into 2024 after the holidays threw things for a loop. I am also thinking about routines this year and shifting how I spend my time. I suppose that means I'm changing into a new pair of jeans? I feel my metaphor crumbling...better sign off while I still can!
You've been missed, Nathan! I hope 2024 will be off to a positive start for you, with abundance of inspiration and creation. I haven't watched Dunkirk yet, but plan to soon. I actually enjoyed Tenet, though it is somewhat convoluted. Everything else too. But I'm not so hard to please lol.
I just came here for the JSRPH reference

Welcome home, Nathan! 🏡
I was thinking “cloud fortress” 🤔 but then zoomed in and there it was. Great photo 👍🏼
Ironically, Dunkirk is my least favourite Nolan movie but, if I remember correctly, by the end of the film it does clarify the timelines
I’ve not read Wolf Hall but watched the BBC adaptation with Claire Foy and Mark Rylance which was very good. And I’m also no fan of royalty 🤴

“internationally-recognised metric of Josephine’s Sleep Rotations Per Hour (JSRPH)”...that is hilarious!

Welcome back, mate! 30 mins for Dunkirk on a flimsy screen on the plane? ! 😂 it’s a good movie albeit a bit confusing with the cuts and jumps.

Oh dear, he has started going on about Nolan again...
Wolf Hall is an extraordinary work.
I’m adding The Fabelmans to my watchlist. Thanks for the suggestion! 😄
Balsamic moon, in Sagittarius - we should have known 🏹
To shift to biweekly or not... that is the question. Debating this myself. Structure and ritual can be so generative... but not always.
I’m on the Wolf Hall slow crawl too. Present tense ?!? That’s what’s got my attention. And it reminds me of a slightly more readable Ulysses.
Great way to start the year, Nathan, and just loved that line: "the leisure to vomit"!
