qatsiAt the end of 2018 I noted it hadn't been a brilliant year. Well, the same goes for 2019, possibly in spades, and it doesn't look great for 2020 either. But in between, there have been highlights: here are mine.
Honourable mentions for A Vineyard in Andalusia and An English Murder (fiction); 4th Rock from the Sun and The Invention of Air (non-fiction); Canzionere Grecanico Salentino and Queen Victoria's piano (music); Skansen in Stockholm, the Gustavianum in Uppsala (museums and exhibitions).
Perhaps hibernation for the duration would be the best option.
