A sunny day. I would have been back from Sydney and still in jet-lag but instead I faced another spring in Switzerland. Swore never to do that again. Hayfever changes everything . Gabilliet said EVERYONE loves spring but he is wrong. TS Eliot was sort of right. It is a cruel time.
As soon as you begin to write a diary you know will be seen you begin to fake it. There's a brilliant section in Taleb's The Black Swan on the problem of diaries, he is referring more to the faking that goes into rewriting, when the future has become the past, and the totally unknown has become the obvious, but I think the minute a public is involved you are rewriting, ... cheating as it were.
They are going to open the libraries in Zurich again next Monday. something to look forward to. It's not like I need more books, but I like to look at them. " Why Minsky Matters " arrived yesterday. I was really happy, I read the opening chapter with delight. But I have a horrible feeling it is going to get technical and boring. Hopefully I can bicycle again next week, and not get breathed on by joggers and cyclists along the river . Everything is stressful, shopping, library, even walking in the forest. I have not caught a train for 6 weeks or so. Cancelled the automatic renewal of my annual rail pass. Was thinking fondly of the Ethnographic Museum Library in Geneva this morning while working up a drawing. It would be nice to get out of the house
