Notes & Field Journal

Occasional writing on walks, books and small things worth remembering.

The long way round

Took the river path instead of the road this week. It adds twenty minutes and removes most of the noise. Some routes are worth keeping simply because nobody is in a hurry on them.

On keeping a reading list short

A list of forty books is a quiet source of guilt; a list of three is a plan. Finished two, started one, abandoned one without regret.

Notebooks

Paper still wins for anything half-formed. Typing makes ideas look finished before they are.
