A short excerpt:
All of this happened a very long time ago, before you and I were here. There once was a place in the world that looked a little bit like here but it was actually very different indeed. Autumn lay in the fields and along the empty road through the woods where no-one ever went anymore.

Beginning to wonder if it will ever stop raining. Some CDs I ordered arrived recently. I have been trying to pick up as many reasonably priced items as possible because it is unlikely I will ever be returning to Japan. To import would mean higher prices and customs charges.
Went to the Post Office about the delivery pick-up but it seems I have to phone them. Only twenty work days left.

I decided to re-read Ghost Story by Peter Straub. I first read it in the early 90s and thought it was time to revisit again.
It's nearly the end of the week.

That's how many working days I have left. Printed out my customs forms ready for the weekend.

When 48-year-old Londoner Cathy Eastburn had to give up full-time work in early 2015 due to ill health, she began looking for ways to make some additional income. That’s when she stumbled across Vrumi, a website that helped her rent out her living room as office space for location independent workers.
