Big battle scene coming!
“No plan survives contact with the enemy.” — Helmuth von Moltke
— The Trouble with Peace, p. 353
Self has the rest of the day to read. She might be able to finish TTWP as early as tonight.
Next on her reading list: All the Devils are Here, by Louise Penny.
Exciting. Self has never read a Chief Inspector Armand Ganache mystery before. Of course it is set in Paris. There is a picture of the Eiffel Tower right on the cover, that’s how she knows.
Self memorably spent Christmas 2017 in Paris. And shared the hotel with a Filipino family (with three small kids) on their way to spend the holidays in Iceland. (Self will never get over this, but Filipinos have a real hankering for extreme cold. It’s a THING) Because self was all surly and anti-holiday, she never spoke to this family, not even when she and they were the only ones in the hotel restaurant for breakfast. She pretended she was Chinese, couldn’t understand Tagalog, didn’t want to know why they were going to Iceland, or where they were staying.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.
