Literatue: Authors: Patrick White.

Bens hot tip of the day: read as much Patrick white as you can.

A biography better written than I ever could, but my reaasons are as follows:

He bridges the gap between page and experiance more than anyone else I have ever read, even Proust. I can totally empathise with the way he makes his charachters feel, what does he say to me about my life? lots.

Running

FInally figured out why ruinning has been so hard recenlty, I have been trying to do too much at once, trying to recapture the half marathon pace AND distance after over a month off from any serious excersies, stupid n retrospect, no wonder I picked up a few minor injuries and had a few bad runs. idiot!

So I went slow and long today, and it was much better, back on the wagon! Alos, in other trivial news just in!

: I got Buffys cheap ass MP3 player to work, I had to upgrade the BIOS of my PC to get the USB to recognise the device for more than the time it takes to upload a song. yay me!

: Under language>learnig a new one>French I finally burst through the translucent paper barrier between me and the glaringly obvious solutions department, problem: french radio sounds crap on AM. Answer: use the internet!

Sometimes I astound myself.

Just so you remeber what we both look like, Buffy is the one on the right, woithout the beard, I am the freaky looking one with no visable chin, I was holding a camera!

Ben in moving to France shocker.

In the first significant move in living history Ben Pawson;s life has taken a turn for the exciting in recent weeks, he has decided to throw of the bounded life of and island existance and try life on the greater continent of Europe!

A source close to Ben Pawson was heard to say "Ben better get his ass to France soon or I will dump him like a bag of shrivelled carrots" The american female who wished to remain anonymous also expressed great shock that Ben was able to make such a move, and commended his efforts at relocation.
