Went to a book event. Bought a book #Sleepless

ANNABEL
ABBS
Sleepless
Discovering the Power of the Night Self
THE NIGHT SELF IS: CREATIVE; CURIOUS, VULNERABLE, ENCHANTED, COURAGEOUS
In the winter of 2020, Annabel Abbs experienced a series of bereavements. As she grieved, she kept busy by day, but at night sleep eluded her. And yet her sleeplessness led to a profound and unexpected discovery: her Night Self.
As the night transformed into a place of creativity and liberation, Annabel found she wasn't alone. From the radical fifteenth-century philosopher Laura Cereta and subversive artist Louise Bourgeois, to Virginia Woolf and the activist Peace Pilgrim, women have long found sanctuary, inspiration and courage in darkness.
Drawing on the latest science, which shows we are more imaginative, open-minded and reflective at night, Annabel set out to discover the potential of her Night Self. Sleepless follows her journey, from midnight hikes to starlit swims, from Singapore, the brightest city on Earth, to the darkest corner of the Arctic Circle, and finally to that most elusive of places - sleep.

I have @robonabike.bsky.social to thank for that (he gave me an invite code way back when).

Apparently my daughter met you yesterday (she was babysitting for another family). Small world!

I hear it’s “green smoke” (Farrow & Ball).

I enjoyed the Cazalet Chronicles when I read them some years ago.

Can’t remember who or what made me want to read this book, but I picked it up from the library today

Wolvercote Lakes

Lake, with reeds in foreground and trees, blue sky and white clouds in background. A family of swans (two adults, six cygnets) can just be seen on the other side of the lake.
