Do you ever stare up at the sky at night and wonder what it is you don't see? For me, about all I can make out is a mirky, dark cloak over the city. You can't even call the colour black because light pollution will never allow it to be that pure. Instead it reminds me of that ugly attempt during childhood to make black out of every paint you have.

oh! I read The Road to Wigan Pier one night at my Aunt's when I couldn't sleep. I liked it quite a bit and found it very sad, though didn't finish being as I was only there a night. I think I thought very wistfully of the whole boarding room bit, though.

It gets better toward the end when he starts damning his contemporaries left and right.

How dare someone take up an email address that so obviously should belong to you? It's quite the travesty. I like living in the country because you actually get to see some of the stars at night. I love London, but there's so much shit in the air you can't see a thing, and not that it's perfect anywhere else, but at least you get a better chance when you're out of the city. And you're right, it's very humbling to look up and realise how small we are in the grand scheme of things. Everyone needs a moment like that occasionally.

It is blasphemy, Kate, true blasphemy. Trust me, when you fly, the air isn't all that much cleaner anyway. It's part of the reason why it's so nice to just take off and get away sometimes. We truly live in an era of egos, I think, and it's tiring. I'm just fine with being David Rowntree, professional speck.
