A Wet gloomy day

It rained early in the morning.The day i never saw or felt the warmth of the sun.The weather forecast predicted three days of continuous heavy rain.As i walked down the pavement with water rushing through my rubber slippers,i felt cold and miserable holding the filmsy collapsible.umbrella in the rain to walk to the nearby.mini market I understand now why winter can be depressing.Im glad to eat normal diet instead on feasting and overeating rich food like cakes,grilled seafood,buffet of deep fried chicken n salted egg yolk squid,japanese tempura and teriyaki.i had to pay the price of gluttony with heartburn and indigestion and bloatedness. At our age,our digestive system slows down.So i stock up on kefir,kombucha,greek yohirt n prebiotic drinks to repair my gastrointestinal overwork. I bury myself in my sofa with a snuggling cat and warm throw to read Han Kang Greek Lessons.it doesnt have a conventional plot structure or linear timeline.it is like a fragmented life of inner feelings,thoughts,fleeting memories and realities of the city life of parks,homeless vagrants,dazzling billboards,empty,dark buildings juxtaposed with life of family in Germany.im into chapter 17 and nearing the end of the book.some chapters are just a page long and are poems.i feel there will be no tie up of loose ends,no neat conclusion for this novel has no conventional plot.im trying to figure out if the Greek teacher had a romantic crush on his Getman boyfriend as described by their brief embrace or was it a meeting of body and minds in a soul relationship?Was the protagonist loss of speech a deliberate act of withdrawal from the outside world as she tries to shut out a world in which she only suffers grief and loss.She keeps repeating the Greek philosophy that the world is an illusion and living is dreaming.is that mantra a retreat from painful reality.this novel is a multilayered complex intertwining of thoughts and feelings that awakens lots of questioning about the present,past and future. im glad Jun is asking for home cooked meals as he is satiated with rich food.i made soup dumplings and use fish n chicken mince to wrap wanton n dumplings to eat with mushrooms ncoriander with tofu in steaming hot soup.so good to eat simple food with a salad of korean persimmom n china kiwi and a bottle of roselle kefir.
