1. I am currently reading a novel which involves the events in Granada leading up to the Civil War and how the National Army under Franco ousted the Republican Government. A squash of democracy. Fill me in with a few more details as I know you can.
2. Perhaps it is just as well you are having a calm time with your cold. Accomplishing tasks in your own rhythm.
3. As for myself I am now becoming proficient in the modern art of weaning babies, reading the books on parents' behalf. I observe the work/homelife balance or inequality. I observe how different a situation it is to the one I experienced all those years ago. Some aspects do not rest well with me.
4. Never too late to ring and ask for a partner. Go to Forest Row tonight - maybe another such opportunity will arise.
5. A short time for myself - I will go for a swim. It is raining so getting wet is not a problem.

1 Ah, the Spanish Civil War. From my mid-teens onward (that is, from the time that I was reading the relevant histories) the SCW became the test by which one judged those who were Left (but right) and those who were Right (but wrong). The test question was 'Which side did you, do you support?
2 The outbreak of the military revolt (including the transport of Spanish soldiers from north Africa); the Anglo-French policy of Non-Intervention, a policy which made it difficult for the Republican government to buy war supplies, a policy which seemed to draw no distinction between an elected government and a military insurrection; the support of the Italian and German governments for the Nationalists; Russian support for the Republicans. And much else.
2 Meanwhile, lovely weather here: sunshine, warmth. Bike-riding this afternoon. Preceded by a gathering of some leaves.
3 Come back to the Manor.
