Hanging On, Post #3

usedtobeljsIt was chilly in the subtropics overnight, which meant I worried about my thermostat setting (I have a heat pump, which is highly efficient until 40 degrees F and then...is not.) Now the subtropics are getting a tropical wave of warmth, which means it will be uncomfortable next weekend. Sigh...
But otherwise, I am back at work, hanging on by the very tips of my fingers.
What I'm reading: Miss Dior by Justine Picardie, which focuses on Catherine Dior and her relationship to her brother Christian. I'm in the section where Catherine, who was a member of the French Resistance in WWII, was sent to Ravensbruck, so it's not exactly light entertainment.
What I'm watching: All Creatures Great and Small (the season the UK just had), the occasional Marple mystery on Britbox, and still Slow Horses. But does anyone else struggle in watching new shows? I am v. busy and I just don't have a lot of time....
Lastly, I'm thinking about British theatre and the two (!) new productions of Oedipus in Fall 2024 and Winter 2025, as well as trying to cajole my travel buddy into seeing the Brian Cox-led Long Day's Journey into Night in May. (I will skip Player-Kings, wherein Ian McKellan plays Falstaff. I fucking hate Falstaff.)
So -- hope everyone has a great week ahead!
