You know how it is when you return from holiday and as soon as they the open the cabin door, the cold air rushes in, and you are back to UK reality……well, not this time!
Turns out is has been hotter here than in Maderia, where we have been relaxing and eating for the last 7 days.
Good Steak
Cones of sushi
Walks
And boat trips
If you have not been to Maderia, try it.
It doesn’t get too hot. The max was 27-28 centigrade, perfect for kids and redheads like me.
Short one as I am still recovering from the late night.
During the holiday I started this book:
Chapter 1 had me hooked and furiously making notes (Marginalia if you want its full name), I already love it.
If I was not a Chiropractor, I would be an evolutionary biologist/psychologist.
Remember:
Nothing makes sense unless you view it through the lens of evolution.
From your body, to relationships, it is all evolution and a side helping of culture as well — nature AND nurture.
I have also enjoyed Stasiland by Anna Funder, and I need to visit Leipzig to see some real life history. Also loved the cover 😍
That reading was inspired by The White Pill, which I read last month. All about communism (turns out it is not so great after all. Yes, it is equal for everyone, but equally poor and miserable, and at the mercy of authoritarian governments murdering you and your family).
Plus, I took in some older history as well. This guy writes really nicely and blew my mind about the history of the Middle East.
And to mix it up, I am re-reading Joe Abercrombie’s First law world series, which is my favourite book series of all time. Check out the first in the series, The Blade itself.
How can 29,000 5 star reviews be wrong?
If you like some swords and sorcery, but written with the best characters and humor, this is a treat.
