it’s been a slow-going week

living in the old cottage, sitting on the windowsill, drinking black coffee, wearing vintage robe, listening to the classical music and writing my own book here

— Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

oxford is looking very autumnal 🍂

today's mood: big old house on the outskirts of old town, having your own art gallery at home and enjoying beautiful pictures, spending time by candlelight, listening to the harp and reading classical novels

Somehow I am always surprised by the sudden good weather in September. Though I’ve always lived here I haven’t spent many Augusts in England in my life, but the ones I’ve seen have been invariably rainy. September is my favourite month. It is such a great time for change and the beginning of new things; maybe because it’s the new academic year, maybe because it’s the equinox (which is when I was born, so is fittingly the meeting point in the ouroboros of my own life’s cycle), but somehow it just feels new. 

I got some new books to study from out the library today, including one written by my lecturer (ig: essayism)
