Blending theories of historiography with alternative history with an historical novel, José Saramago continues to astonish and allure me.
Such gorgeous weather. We took the kayaks to Chatfield reservoir and paddled. I am going to learn to dismount and reënter my kayak without flipping it. This time when I wanted to swim in the middle of the "lake," I gave my skirt, sunglasses, and hat to RDC instead of putting them in my drysack (whatever that's called) and lashing it down, and shoved my paddle into what rigging there is--it's not rigging at all, but tie-downs--and he held Watership Up as I existed and clambered back in. I am definitely going to practice this one, because I am totally taking this vessel with me when I next go home.
