Windy windy Thursday
Lots of heavy rain and thunder and lightning last night, but no hail of any size, which was a relief. Today the sky was completely clear and blue.
Finished Anna Burns' novel Milkman, set in a district of Belfast, Northern Ireland during The Troubles. I had initially been wary of trying it because I'd seen a lot of talk about how it was hard to understand and difficult to follow, but I found it to be neither of those things and I ended up really liking it.
Currently reading Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt, which is basically an alternate world history in which the plague killed 99% of the European population, thus leaving the doors for exploration and conquest open for everyone else.
