Miscounted backstroke

This morning when I was swimming I miscounted my backstrokes and smashed my head into the tiles. And the week is going to continue to be this horrible until about Thursday evening.

It would comfort me greatly to know that it is not in fact the case that everyone else is doing brilliantly, so if you would like to have a grump in the comments, that would be lovely. Sod positivity.

The Little Stranger was really disappointing, and yet I read all 500 pages of it.

That's a lot of disappointment!

Man, it is, isn't it? I think if a book is going to be disappointing it should at least be short, so I don't feel as though I've wasted my life on it. And given that imho most of the first hundred pages were disposable, it could easily have been a fifth less disappointing.
