Well, I made my resolution (not a new years resolution mind you, I do not think that the turn of the year is in any way special enough to require a change of habit or the like) to try to blog a little more regularly. Let’s face it, it couldn’t have been anymore irregular could it. I now appear to have made a post almost every two days since the 4th January. That to me is good progress, a definite improvement on the past. Now I just need to keep up the momentum that I have built. But what to write about!
I finished ‘The Way by Swann’s’ by Proust finally yesterday and am going to get started on the next installment ‘In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower’ fairly soon. I am not convinced that I really know what is going on though. It strikes me as the type of book that you need to read a few times to have any idea what it is really about, and more will be revealed (or at least makes more sense) each time you read it.
I have started to take a lunch break at work, something I haven’t done for years usually lunching at my desk whilst working. I am going to use this time to get away from the desk, relax and read. I have managed two days so far, let’s see how long I can continue it for.
So we now have two things to monitor. My posting regularity and whether I can manage to continue taking a lunch break. Exciting stuff! Well if the last week or so is any indicator I will be posting again in a couple of days, but what the heck, I may surprise everyone, myself included, and post tomorrow. But somehow I doubt it.
