London Review of Books

Published every other week. Great essays/criticism. I like the diversity in types of books that they cover. There’s a good spread imo of fiction and nonfiction, politics and culture etc. Plus the classifieds can be funny

saving creative energy

I’ve realised that recently I’ve been wearing the same thing again and again. 501 levis and a plain long sleeve top with a big wooly jumper. I got massively tired of thinking of something cool and original to wear everyday. I feel comfy in my jeans and jumper. It’s boring. But I’m not boring. I’ve been doing more creative things and having more ideas and interesting conversations. I think it’s because I’ve freed up some creative energy I used to spend on looking nice. I guess the tech bros and Obama were on to something.

being dramatic about a cold

My whole job requires my voice to be in good heath so when I notice even the slightest cold I go full herbal remedy mode. I‘m not even hippie dippy about that stuff I just can’t justify using really medicine when I’m not even properly ill. so I stock up on tangerines, ginger, garlic, orange juice, echinacea tablets and rest like a victorian child if I happen to have the day off. Today I have nothing on and there’s a storm out so I am resting with a hot waterbottle with some vaporub on my chest. Gonna kick the cold before it even properly starts.

reading walk

Something I used to do when I was studying English Literature was go on a reading walk. I would walk half an hour whilst listening to the audio book version, read from that point onwards with the physical copy ( sat on a bench or in a cafe), and then listen to more audiobook on the way back. It works great for big classic books like Jane Eyre. Thoroughly recommend.
