I was in the library and it was quiet.

Earlier I got a phone call and left the library to take the call outside despite other people talking and even others talking on their phones.

It was windy outside.

This morning I watched an episode of Tintin. Much of the episode storyline was used in the recent film. It's where Tintin first meets captain haddock. Snowy finds a tin a crab meat (crabe extra).

Here is how I rate all the snowy incarnations:
1/ BD (book) version of snowy where you are told what he is thinking.
2/ cartoon version of snowy where he barks a lot and is quite expressive.
3/ film snowy, who is just like there I guess, just being a deus ex machina.

I've spent hardly any time in the library this year.

I like to set my timer while I'm working so that I know I can definitely have a break once the timer has finished.

They have a book of letters by Samuel Beckett in the library. I was looking through the chronology of it earlier. Seems like it took him a long time to get Watt published. Like I don't even think I found out when it was published. Just seemed like he sent it to a lot of publishers and they said no. Seems like Simone de Beauvoir rejected something by him and then was like writing him letters asking for stuff to publish once his trilogy of books was picked up and georges bataille wrote a sweet essay on Molloy.

Walking through town I saw a man and a woman walking at a fast pace next to each other. As I passed them the woman said to the man, "Listen you are not my type of man. At all. Not one little bit."

I guess I felt sorry for him.

I wondered what her type was.

Girls like guys with criminal records and scars (not acne scars) etc. etc. etc.

I guess I used to be scared of getting beaten up when I was a teenager. I got threatened. Then I went to Uni and came back and one night I went out with some old school friends and this group of guys started saying stuff to us. I started shouting at them but they did nothing.

Harry reminds me of that night sometimes. He's a lot bigger than me and it surprises me he was scared how they'd react.

Harry is in Germany now.

I don't know if this bio oil or this clean and clear deep cleansing lotion is working at all. Like, maybe it is.

I'd like to get a tan this summer.

Five pounds
