Checked into fading guesthouse on Cromwell Road just now. Just behind me came a taxi driver from Belfast City Airport with two Chinese passengers. Then they took a second look at the place and asked him to drive them to Dublin instead. It will be well after midnight by the time they get there…
Off to find food now (shouldn’t be too difficult around Botanic Avenue).
I also reread most of my books. I couldn’t possibly have enough to read otherwise but anyway rereading has its own pleasures. At this stage I have to cull my books a little every now and then and there are few books which I will keep if I don’t think I’ll read them again. In one case I am saving up the second reading of a particular book as a treat for sometime I particularly need it.
