Today's travelling companions: Mervyn Peake, with the god-like John Coltrane playing Crescent on my headphones.
Finding my revisit to Gormenghast & its stultifying rituals particularly interesting in light of our own recent royal ceremonial nonsense.

A little al-fresco reading break before heading home. Forecast for thunder and rain tomorrow, may as well enjoy the fine weather while it lasts, read in sunlight, with breeze by the water & sound of birdsong.
