Now
What I’m doing this month. A now page changes; the journal keeps the record.
What I'm doing now
A now page: what has my attention this month, rather than everything I have ever done. Updated 2 October (sample).
Living
A terraced house on Harbour Row, Springfield, since March 2020 (sample).
Working on
Editing a book of fishing-town recipes for a small local press (sample).
Reading
The Natural History of Selborne, one letter a night.
Growing
Garlic, planted on 12 October. The last of the chard.
Walking
The coast path in stages: nine of fourteen done.
Learning
Darning. Slowly, and not very well yet.
In September
What the now page said a month ago, so you can see what changed.
Working on
The same recipe book, still on chapter two (sample).
Reading
Walden, finished on the train.
Growing
Tomatoes, the last green ones ripening on the windowsill.
Walking
Stage 8, Pell Cove to the lighthouse.
Write to me
Questions about an entry, corrections, a recipe that worked (or did not): I read every letter and answer most of them within a week.
