Da Costa

Last night as I drifted off to sleep I was reminiscing about my time living along the Da Costakade in what was such an idyllic little apartment. Much was wrong with it — narrow staircases, not so much storage space and it could get awfully warm — but it did so much more right that I really miss that place. Especially laying on the sofa in the summer, next to the open window, reading a book, listening to the people at L’Affiche downstairs. That apartment was quite delightful and I miss it a lot.

Earnest

I’ve noticed that the more earnestly someone asks me how I am doing the more uncomfortable I get in answering. I don’t know why that happens but I suspect it’s because the more earnest they are in their asking, the more earnest I feel I need to be in my answering.
