Like a lot of us I've been working from home (full tilt too as it happens) and I mistakenly thought that would give me an opportunity to read more of A Tale Of Two Cities but that time was swallowed up by urgent and important school stuff. So I'm slowly edging forward - right now on page 241 (of 307 in this edition).
It's grim - Paris in the revolution was no picnic! But I am loving the language and the removal to a traumatic time in the past as an antidote to the traumatic times of the present.
Although, it's ANZAC day in NZ and Australia today - a day to remember another traumatic time in our past.
Interesting species aren't we?

Ha, This One's About Insomnia Too
My bed is a godless church yet I still pray there every night. Am I a fool? I can almost hear other worshippers in their far- off corners, the small breath of their hands unclasping. Ariel Francisco (2020) |

The music of James Taylor is a great salve for these times.
