brilliant writing as usual! and I loved reading (as seeing - they look amazing!) about your diaries. I've always used journals as an introspective tool and a method for me to cope with various things causing me worry, stress, anxiety, and so have actually found myself journaling less and less recently as I feel a lot better on a personal level. so I think I'm going to take inspiration from this and begin to use my journals like a diary. The idea of recounting events and conversations is wonderful, and honestly, I can't wait to get started now!

Liam, your comments always make me ridiculously happy and grateful. Thank you - they mean so so much! But, more importantly, I love that you've been journaling less (which is odd to say; but the fact that it hopefully means you're doing better is a very good thing!)

And as long as you otherwise keep writing..! I still remember the holiday diary you wrote a good while back; I felt you did a tremendous job at narrating your own and other people's existences - think you've definitely got the knack.

Those diaries are literally gorgeous. They're the sort of things I see on Pinterest and Instagram and wish I had the sort of ingenuity and lust for life to keep up. They're so dynamic and exciting to look at, definitely worth keeping

If Wordsworth could take photos of daffodils, would he have written poems about them?

Locke, too, pressed flowers. Some of his Christ Church pupils' essays and exercises have been saved for posterity in the Locke papers in the Bodleian because he used them to mount his pressed flower collection.

Curious that objet has come to mean what is without objet (purpose). Not the only mutation 'object' has undergone: once upon a time, 'objective' meant being cognized (an object of thought), not being mind-independent.
