Now that spring had arrived, it was pleasant to get some air and natural light after spending hours standing at the typewriter of a morning. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Ernest really couldn't write for more than a couple of hours at a time, and then he needed to do something to redirect and refocus his mind.
He'd done some good work already, more pages kept than allowed to float down into the wastepaper basket, but the well was running dry. So, having already finished 1984, he'd grabbed the next book from Abi's pile, which happened to be the first Harry Potter and headed out. He'd stopped by the bakery and picked up a pastry and a coffee for breakfast, and then wandered along to the park. He settled himself down on the grass, and started to read as he picked at the breakfast. And suddenly he was lost in that world, for goodness knows how long.
