The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | Douglas Adams

Balancing two serious reads right now (Dickens & Montaigne). Think I need some Douglas Adams in my life right about now.

Complete Works | Michel de Montaigne

...what we ordinarily call friends & friendships are nothing but acquaintanceships...in the friendship I speak of, our souls mingle and blend with each other so completely that they efface the seam that joined them...If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed, except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I.

(from "Of friendship", Book I, Essay 28)

tpixie Fun! I follow a few mudlarkers on IG. It‘s wild how much they find in the Thames. Mudlarking makes a small cameo in

Cuilin @tpixie I follow some on TikTok. Looks like so much fun and it‘s amazing what they find. 2w

rwmg @tpixie @cuilin I'm going to a Museum of London exhibition of objects found by mudlarkers with my sister in a couple of weeks so I thought I should read this first, as it's been sitting on my online wishlist for 4 or 5 years. (edited) 2w

tpixie @rwmg what a great trip you will have. Great idea to read beforehand. @Cuilin yes!! 2w

Cuilin @rwmg oh wow. Have a great visit. I‘ll have to stack this book. 2w

Been a long, dirty week. I relish these easy-chair Saturday mornings, when I hear nothing but my office clock and the wind outside.

But the best parts are my coffee and a book :)
