@Petrichor I enjoyed Midnight Library but read it in Spanish to improve my language skills. I should go back and read it in English, see how I view it then.
Thanks for the advice. I will try and enjoy the experience!

What am I reading?
Nearly finished Matt Haig's 'How to Stop Time'. A bit similar to The Midnight Library, though a different story, with its flying about. Might try another of Matt's but am finding the wandering in place and time and prose a little tedious.
Next to read: 'Death Do they Part' by Jonathan Whitelaw, 3rd in the Parker Sisters' (Cosy) Mystery series. Something lighter after Matt's tome.
My own book 'A Question of Resistance' by Paul Smith, a time-slip novel is being reviewed by a book club in Northallerton & I am going to the club to answer questions and listen to their critique next week. 'Scared' doesn't do my trepidation justice!

The River Wharfe flowing through the treacherous Nidd Gorge where people have lost their lives. Though narrow, it is deceptively deep, hiding caverns carved out by the flowing water trapping and drowning its victims.

@LThinkTank This is important enough to repost with English translation too:
🔾Germany has raised its level of national security posture from an “abstract threat level” to a “high threat level,” Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said.

Built for the covid era, this shelter is outside the Craven Arms, Appletreewick. We had lunch in there isolated from the elements (& virus transmission) and the window overlooked the lovely North Yorkshire countryside of Wharfedale.
A wooden shelter outside a pub. Like a shed, but designed for dining with a table and 4 chairs .

@bastamedia @lagedefaire C'est une idée géniale. Zéro kilométrage alimentaire aussi. Local est le meilleur.

It's odd how 'evil' manifests itself as 'ugly' in the eye of the beholder. There's a lot of it around at the moment.
