We went to see the film, Napoleon, the matinee performance at Kings Theatre in Annapolis Royal.
Watching the portrayal of Napoleon in the European wars, it was difficult not to make the comparison with Putin and the other confrontations in the world today (see also History Professor reactes to Napoleon Trailer).
On the way home, we witnessed a house fire; at our neighbours, just four houses away on Highway #201; a very sad event.
On a more positive note, I received mid-Winter news from FOLDE, Dorset in the UK.
This newsletter illustrates the potential of bookstores in rural England.
Another newsletter, The Marginalian, contained a section on ‘Working Out, Working In’.
Applying the six principles of Athletic Training to Writing and Creative work.
Before heading to BC, I returned the books by James Bridle to the Library. In place of these books I have borrowed, from Heather, Thomas Moore’s The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life.
”There is a sophistication prior to adult learning and modern development of culture, an appreciation for the interiority of Nature and the hidden power of persons and places.” p.xx.
