Going through your old posts. It looks like "http://www.beyond-the-pale.co.uk/schopenhauer.htm" does not exist anymore. I dearly hope to still be able to read through your entries and musings in the decades to come. Don't worry, I'm not treating your writings as gospel, but as a Kuriositätenkabinett with a lit candle on top of it.
I've been at 'home' for a month now. The people and their attitude here stress me out - oh, my delicate feelings! So, I'd like to visit Sardegna and its many Nuraghe, but January might be too early to venture forth.
My website used to be "...co.uk" but now it is just "...uk". I fixed the link. Thanks.
I went to Malta one February a long time ago and froze half the time. I did not like it at all, the food was terrible - but I went to see the megaliths which were wonderful. So I wouldn't recommend Sardinia until April, especially the higher spots. It's quite cold in the S of France at the moment: -4° here at night, and nearly down to zero in Provence.
Be careful of candles and kabinetten. I once set our house on fire (when I was about 8), and there has been a tragedy in Switzerland with candles and 'sparklers' in a dangerous fire-hazard calling itself a bar...
Maybe I will drop by on my way back, but then again, I'm notoriously hard to motivate to actually follow through on my plans. In a way I am already partially fossilised. I was asked to get treatment for depression or to get a job - the latter feeling like a form of horror to me, whereas the former option has not really led anywhere in the past. Best I could do is to go hiking again and to marvel at remnants from the ancient times and to sleep in cuile.
Well, it would be nice to see you. Yes, the idea of a job is pretty horrific. As you know, I was never lured - except once, when my mother (getting desperate) pushed me into the RAF, which she had been in (as a meteorologist), during The War. U did not last long before I got a Medical (Psychological) Discharge. I don't think you have depression any more than did Baudelaire. But you have to 'cut free' somehow. If you visit, I might be able to help you to do that. Or maybe not. You have a fantastic command of English: that may be your route. I remember someone saying to me: "You are too intelligent for your own good." So was Socrates, to name but one. Nietzsche...? Apart from reading my blog (which last week got 1500 'hits' on one day, though maybe they were Bots) what are your other interests/pre-occupations ?

You could visit here, of course. Lots of art, vegetarian food, warm bed in your own sunny room...
