My reading list – June 2022

By

Here’s my reading list for the month:

  • How money became dangerous, by Christopher Varelas, and Dan Stone;
  • Coleridge, Early visions, by Richard Holmes;
  • A world without email, by Cal Newport; and
  • A royal life, by HRH The Duke of Kent, and Hugo Vickers.

Westerpark

By

The Westerpark is lovely in Springtime.

I spent quite a bit of time there today. It’s good to see that all the leaves are back; winter can be quite unforgiving, stripping everything down to the barest twigs. But the greenery is back, and with it, the feel of being in a park once more. It’s not the same when you come here in the winter.

So I spent a good deal of time there today – sat on benches, walked a fair bit, took some photos, things like that.

I’ve written a few words before about the Westerpark. I’m sure I’ll do so again before too long.

My reading list – February 2022

By Leave a Comment

So far, only one book on the list, which is probably just as well, as I haven’t finished my January list.

The February book is perhaps an apt choice: Life Admin: How I learned to Do Less, Do Better, and Live More, by Elizabeth Emens. I think it’s fair to say that ’life admin’ is a big part of the reason I haven’t finished my January books. Curious to see how Emens has dealt with this issue. A few pages in, and I can identify with much that she says.
