One more week of holidays and these are my plans for it. I’m halfway through Hot Milk so I hope to start Life After Life after that.

Slow Sunday morning

I freed myself from under Alice to have breakfast and to read a few pages of Hot Milk by Deborah Levy, before going for a walk.

I shouldn’t have read this book now, when I’m still on the tail end of a depressive episode. It made me feel worse. I know that a lot of people will tell you that this is a hopeful book. For me it’s full of despair, sadness and resignation. It didn’t feel like a life affirming story, it felt like a message to resign yourself to the life you have.

I’ve chosen a new bike yesterday! It was a long process of convincing myself that it’s okay to ride on a e-bike and saving money for it. At the end I’ve decided that e-bike is the way to fulfil at least one part of my life’s vision, of me going (almost) everywhere on the bike.

What a mind! This book made me laugh and think some big thoughts.

“The forgetting is bigger than the memory.”

Reading is going well and as it is a long weekend here in the Netherlands (Pentecost), and I’m on holiday, I just may have another reading day. I’m actually tempted to make this whole week a holiday reading week. I’m still tired and maybe I just need to give in and rest. Isn’t that what holiday is for?

Alice has mastered the holidaying. She moves between the sofa and the garden, finding the best spots to be lazy.
