A few things + mega music rec

[regshoe]

I'm still enjoying the Malory Towers TV series—I don't think it's perfectly faithful to the books, but it's such good fun that I don't have anything to complain about. Enid Blyton's boarding school stories were my favourite thing ever when I was ten or so, and this is a great reminder of why I loved them so much. Having had to cancel my original plans for next week's holiday from work, I'm now intending to spend the time re-reading the books—we'll see how quickly I can get through all six of them...

I have another JSMN fic coming together in my head. So far I have a perfect setting, some ideas about characters and some brilliant historical details that I really want to include, but no plot. Why do I have to have things happen??? I shall do some more historical research and see what falls out...

I realised earlier that I'd managed to get to the chapter in The '45 on the battle of Culloden today, on the anniversary of the battle of Culloden, completely by chance.

Also in 'things to do in lockdown': I've found this seven and a half hour-long recorded folk music festival featuring musicians (including some of my faves) playing from their front rooms. So I know how I'll be spending the rest of my time on holiday :D
