Bank Holiday



It's been a bank holiday weekend here and, unusually, it hasn't been raining.  We went out for a bit of a stroll yesterday out by the viaduct and the wetlands down by the Itchen Navigation.  I took some pictures.

Today I've got my feet up, doing some reading.  I'm reading The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt.  It's a good book.  That's it.  See you later.

    That must be one good book for you to write so little!

    PS What, no orange safety netting?

    Mike,

    'The Last Samurai' is one of my favourite books, and has been re-read a number of times. I even took the journey around the Circle line (something you can't do now) after reading it.

    Yes, "The Last Samurai" is the best "literary" novel I've read since Jennifer Egan's "A Visit From the Goon Squad".
