Read in the sun this afternoon, while my mother's new puppy played with the frilly rug I spread on the grass. I gave him a bath after lunch and his fur felt specially fluffy. My arms are full of bite marks, though his teeth are so tiny they are barely visible. He's adorable.
Finished chapter 23 of Jane Austen's Persuasion, THE CHAPTER! Someone on Reddit called it the most romantic piece of literature ever written. Gah. The letter is swoon-worthy for sure, and there are some really powerful quotes but it really didn't have the impact I was promised (and I'm saying this as a fucking romantic!).
Maybe my stuffy nose prevented me for truly appreciating its genius. Maybe.
