Feelings Strangely, considering yesterday's gloomy post I've been in a good mood today. Not closure perhaps, but the first time I've felt at all like I did the day before a month ago. This morning, The Guardian asked a random bunch of prominant people whether the world world really has changed. Predictably, they offer little that hasn't already been said by 'the man in the street'. I'm linking the article, but the only relevant quote is from Ian McKewan, novelist, who captures how I've felt at least: "In company, conversational monomania; in solitude, brooding worst-case daydreams; addiction to TV news and newspapers; unwarranted fatigue; loss of concentration; tendency to sighing; heightened distaste for religions; troubled sleep; uneasy dreams; suspicion of certain passengers in airport departure lounges; fear of flying; wariness of crowds; aversion to enclosed spaces; generalised anxiety; paranoia; misanthropy; cultural pessimism; indefinable melancholy; darker sense of humour. Otherwise, everything much the same."
