Thought for the day - from Fortress Besieged (1949) by Qian Zhongshu - `an old man in love is like a house burning down`

The Lake, the Tractor and the Thomas question
[03:38]The Resistance Banker
[04:32]It`s For Sale
[05:17]Sandrine`s doing

[05:53]The tractor wheeze
[06:43]Getting rid of Jean Christophe
[07:02]The end of the film - spoiler alert
[08:02]Henriette and Sandrine`s responses to the reports
[09:21]getting ready to go away / for winter
Wednesday 3 Oct Day 126
[00:41]preparing to leave. the meeting about Thomas last night
[01:51]the `value` of the land. The value of Thomas to Bonnevaux.
[02:28]Lawrence. why does the flawedness and humanity of Laurence upset / worry me
so much? why should he be perfect, more self aware? why shouldn`t he fantasise about
his luxury retirement phone (Lacanian slip - home)? why should he be perfect when self
evidently I am not? Or Andrew? or all the rest? Do I just basically think I am better than
them and I expect them to be at least as perfect as me, if not more so?
[04:23]seeing others as they are, not projecting.
[05:18]Laurence`s upset at me telling Thomas about our thoughts.
[06:43]Saturday 6th Oct Basel S`s flat. Jung`s life. Danny in B`land.
