I got up to get us a drink of water and as I stood in the kitchen in the early morning light, running the water out of the tap, I looked out at the hills at the back of the town, at the trees on the hills, at the bushes in the garden, at the birds, at the brand new leaves on a branch, at a cat on a fence, at the bits of wood that made the fence, and I wondered if everything I saw, if maybe every landscape we casually glanced at, was the outcome of an ecstasy we didn't even know was happening, a love-act moving at a speed slow and steady enough for us to be deceived into thinking it was just everyday reality.

Some reading and life moments later.

I’ve been to the beach, been swimming in the sea and enjoying my reading. I managed to read Spring while it’s still technically spring (just) and I’m obsessed with Ali Smiths writing.

Tonight I can smell the season the way it's usually only possible to at the very first moments of its return, before you're used to it, when you've forgotten its smell, then there it is back in the air and the flow of things shifting and resettling again.

What would happen if you did just shut a door and stop speaking? Hour after hour after hour of no words. Would you speak to yourself? Would words just stop being useful? Would you lose language altogether? Or would words mean more, would they start to mean in every direction, all somersault and assault, like a thuggery of fireworks? Would they proliferate, like untended plantlife? Would the inside of your head overgrow with every word that has ever come into it, every word that has ever silently taken seed or fallen dormant? Would your own silence make other things noisier? Would all the things you’d ever forgotten, all layered there inside you, come bouldering up and avalanche you?

as it’s autumn for me it felt only fitting to pick up this one — ali smith has a way of getting me caught in the web her words like very few other writers do; finished it this morning. many thoughts, many feelings, much inspiration. excited to keep on reading the others as the seasons pass.

I had never seen this book before, so when I saw it in Topping & Co in Edinburgh I had to pick it up. The bookseller was excited to tell me that when Smith was signing these she had made a remark about it being quite rare. I think this makes my Smith collection complete
