Sustenance

12 Ramadhan 1431

The fast is not so difficult when there's so much available to sustain the mind throughout the day and the body once sunset has arrived. The pictures above display a little of such sustenance encountered over the last few days. The books represent the spoils of a trip yesterday to Kinokuniya in the company of Fifi and Fafa to unload the book tokens that came my way for conducting a highly enjoyable workshop at a recent Literature Seminar. (I'd have done it for free, but don't tell the Ministry that.) And the baked potato was the highlight of a relaxing Friday evening, to live no more, except in memory.

Mind you, I won't be embarking on the books, the ones for me, that is, (which sadly don't include titles like The Diary of Amos Lee - Girls, Guts and Glory, in case you were wondering) until I've completed the Islamic-themed material set aside for Ramadhan. Which means that the likes of the American Library edition of four Philip K. Dick novels of the sixties will remain a rather wonderful temptation for now.
