2 Reading: Bleak House

Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill.

3 Listening: Bob Dylan's Infidels

Jokerman retains all of its glories in 2024.

4 Watching: The Gentlemen

From Guy Ritchie on Netflix. He's toned down his OTT tendencies in this action/comedy series and gone for strong writing/characters instead and it works.

Overtime:  

Some people get addicted to chain-smoking their problems. They spend all day going from sorrow to sorrow. It doesn't have to be that way. You can live each day going from joy to joy—like a sunflower that turns to face the sun as it moves across the sky. It's not about having a problem-free life, but about focusing on the light. Sunflowers still have shadows, but they are always behind them.
