It occurred to me today that h2g2 is a bit like a latter-day, cooperative version of Voltaire's ‘Dictionnaire philosophique', with almost as much satirical bias. Our philosophical discussions are tinged with cynicism, but we do seem to manage to draw conclusions, most of the time.
Weather is gorgeous again. Clear, calm Autumn days are beautiful, and imbued with that momentous feeling of time turning. Because I am still restricted by injury, I have a lot of time to sit and appreciate the day, which is a nice thing. I ran out of coffee this morning, so the morning has been less serene than this description of the weather might make it sound (I had to go across to the gym and use their coffee machine: International Roast! Pah!), but the situation had been remedied by this afternoon.
Rest. Continuing rest. Bad television. Good books that I don't want to read again. Sunny days and moonlit nights, and noiseless, background pain. If I am meant to pray that I don't live in interesting times, I think my wish has been granted.
Key: Complain about this post

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
