Ten words to sum up your working life to date ...
"My unhappiness is due to being deprived of it" (Kafka)
Nine things you can see from where you're sitting ...
The neighbors' bedroom, a poster of an old film called Maigret Voit Rouge with Jean Gabin, a carpet, a figure in the carpet, the most important part of my library (the one with crime fiction), an old couch I really have to throw away, a black and white photo of my dad and I when I was three years old, What Happens in Hamlet by John Dover Wilson, a generous slice of very clear blue Mediterranean sky.
Eight minutes to prepare a meal. What's it going to be ?
I can make it in less than eight! A freshly sliced salad from a handful of cherry tomatoes and one onion, with a dressing of olive oil, lemon and salt, and on top of it a generous portion of tahini.
