Will Self - Hebridean interlude
Saturday, 21 June 2008
For the second year we returned to Jura in the Hebrides for summer half-term. The weather was, frankly, absurd: sunshine and 70-degree heat from dawn to dusk – and so far north that's a very long, very bright day. Sea mist lay on the sound, making of the mainland another floating island.
Will Self: homebound
Saturday, 7 June 2008
I got home the other evening after two weeks away in the US. Even as I stepped from the door of the aircraft on to the gantry I felt as if I was home: the grey frayed carpeting, the crap-flat lighting, the odour of Heathrow Airport – the busiest in Europe – was at once chilly and cloacal, suggesting the presence of many thousands of (albeit invisible) bodies. It doesn't sound too good this, does it?
