Weather been a real delight here for a few days; like mild Mediterranean climate, very gentle heat. Finding any excuse for gardening in a mild sort of way.
Agree about the racism, Georgie. It just amazes, or even shocks, me to read major novels from 20s and 30s where it is so prevalent. Anti-semitism likewise. Put it down to (anti-)Social History!
Finished Thursday Murder Club. Not bad, entertaining, although he takes a few liberties here and there. Understand Spielberg intents to make a film from it. If he moves it to USA, from Kentish Weald, it won’t work. Am now hooked on Cadfael; first ten pages and that was it. Got to read it all, now! Have studied mediaeval period in past and Peters/Pargeter seems to have got it perfect, right down to grass roots levels of ploughing, farming etc.
