Hey mate, I hope you're well and Sunday is treating you well.
I was up on the roof of my garage today, replacing some polycarbonate sheeting damaged in the last hail storm. Also did some fencing...so it was a productive day. I wanted a snooze but it's getting on now so that might have to wait until bed time. I hope you've had a good one.
Thanks for commenting on this one, a nice little memory from my younger days. Also ,I like it when people comment on my chosen quotes; surprisingly few actually do it for some reason. I like E.H also, he lived a lot of life which contributed to his words which often resonate with me. I'm not biased though, if the words mean something to me it doesn't matter who says them.
Have a good rest of Sunday.
E.H? Ernest Hemingway?
My reference was to 'The Importance of Being Earnest' - rather than your Windamere's Fan reference.
A funny mix up, perhaps.
My day was rather uneventful, although the tides worked for us today and we got a long beach walk in. The amount of sand that had been removed from the beach was amazing - rock sheets we've never seen before were all exposed - it was beautiful, but concerning perhaps - not sure how much sand the storms have taken, but if our little stretch of coast lost so much, I'm sure that would be replicated in areas with far higher levels of erosion.
You read 'Boy Swallows Universe' yet? I feel like between that text, and Dalton's newer one, 'Under the Shimmering Skies' - his writing style and magical realism, along with the lyrical one liners he produces, I think, will make him one of our truly celebrated national writers for however long to come and allow his prose to transcend time - much like those of 120 years ago!
Maybe I got sun stroke up on that roof huh? I missed that reference completely and went with the E. Hemingway comment. I am truly a nutbag. I own it though.
I have not read Boy Swallows Universe however have the intention of doing so. I always have a book in my face and there's never enough time for them all. I currently have Caesar: Invasion of Britain on the go, by Gaius Julius Caesar, [William Welch, Sidney Gillespie Ashmore]. Fascinating stuff.
