for some reason i was beyond normal tired today. i was happy to just play lots of bridge and stay mostly inside, it was cold and windy despite the sun. Homework was done early, music practicing late.
Read Master Jacob, a play based on a Howard Pyle story from a book that Centa magicked here.
Generally, there was a lot of reading, the best part of which was me curled up on the couch with Henry, him reading aloud to me from the Museum House Ghosts after leaning on me while i read Julian Barnes. Also I read the red badge of courage from cover to cover, a classic that i felt i knew from having heard so much about it but was still surprised to find it a very "enjoyable" read.
We didn't find time for Robin Hood though, unfortunately. Bed time story was the beginning of Thurber's White Deer.
Also I found that archive.org has opened its archive to borrow any book at any time, and that makes it possible to get all kinds of books in the weird uncanny valley of copyright - still under copyright, long out of print, and impossible to find. it's a bit worse for music and i've been running into that problem over and over again in research. but with this archive.org thing i even found some books by barbara picard that i was never able to find easily, or old-fashioned but cool children's books that are too young to be available free.
