Read: Nightingale by Marina Kemp ★★★★☆
I enjoyed this, absorbing description of seasons in France, reviling characters and story slowly. Slight fall away at the end.
Read: The Fifth Book Of Peace by Maxine Hong Kingston ★★★☆☆ I didn’t really enjoy the middle section set in Hawaii, but the last about working with Vietnam veterans was interesting and absorbing.
What a strange day, half my class were in school. I tried to keep it calm. We wrote poems on the playground, posted blog posts & got the paint out. I don’t think children have ever seemed so precious. Tomorrow my 3 primary 7s may have their last day in our school.

Using Microsoft Office for iPhone a lot today to capture text. I like it much more than Office lens. Much easier & quicker to get text to edit without having to open up Word. Straight to Drafts app in my case.
Watched: Captain Fantastic ★★★☆☆ Great fun. 🎥
I used LO2 (Little Outliner)for a while a couple of years ago, storing the outlines on my Raspberry Pi. A corrupt SD card showed that was not a good idea. Not sure if I am an outline sort of person, but interesting to play with and keep up with.
Read: Middle England
Read: Middle England by Johnathan Coe ★★★★☆ Almost like a series of sketches played very much to my liberal values. Enjoyable rather than thought provoking.
... and the true history of the flat white.
Enjoyed this and the previous episode. Many coffee rabbit holes.
I’d love to hear the speciality espresso vs Italian espresso episode.
