thoughts

i used to write a daily diary when i was at boarding school but seem to have never to had the time since then.  i saw this via laissez faire  and have decided i can surely manage a line a day.  its great because you have five years on each page so that you can look back at past entries as you go along.  it reminded me of something James Mason said in The Shooting Party which i watched the other night...i don't remember the quote exactly but he was writing in his journal and advised his grandson that he should get into the habit of writing his thoughts down, in that way you do not have to subject other people to them - quite - and with this little short and sweet journal, you don't have to subject yourself to too much rambling either.
