Even more chilly weather...
... but we will be getting a brief reprieve.
Today's high was only in the teens. Overnight it got to around -4 F. Eek! Could hit a slightly more balmy zero tonight/overnight but tomorrow is supposed to be warmer. By Tuesday, we should be seeing temps that will hopefully melt off some of this white stuff. Especially since it looks like Wednesday into Thursday we may be getting more. Ick.
Just glad I haven't had to leave, and there's at least a break so I can do some quick errands, maybe even get in a swim or two.
On a brighter note, local COVID-19 cases are coming down, from a high of 399 sometime in December to 160s this past week. Cautiously good news.
In addition, I finished another book. Was not expecting to be able to do another book review this quickly, especially since it was more than 500 pages, but I found it hard to put down.
3. All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. I've been wanting to read this one for a while. It did not disappoint. I've heard its praises sung many times, and I'll be joining that chorus. It starts out good but about three-quarters in, there's a couple plot twists dropped I did not see coming, and the ending brings everything together. The bulk of the story is set during World War II, and much of the tale is told through two youths in that era- the French daughter of a locksmith and museum employee, and a German boy who lives with his sister in a small orphanage. I don't want to get into too much of the plot- it's tough to do so without giving away spoilers. I will say this is a sensitive and humane story that weaves their stories of struggle, along with the people around them. I highly recommend it to high school age, and anyone interested in reading about World War II.
