As I'm not employed at the moment, life seems to be a bit free-fall. I've discovered that I'm a bit of a ''routine-junkie'. Apart from the guilt of not working/earning/contributing to society/paying my national insurance, I have lots of anxiety about how to fill my time. I think it's a case of be careful what you wish for.
Book wise, I'm reading The Snow Geese by William Fiennes. He came to give a lecture at Dundee University a few years ago and I was captivated by the way he spoke and discussed his book. This is actually a re-read and the reason for this is my current fascination with watching migrating geese. This is William's story about his journey from Texas to the Arctic Tundra where the Snow Geese go to breed. It is a beautifully written book that has been research well and is much more than an ornithological travel journal, it's filled with great insights and wisdom.
