Thursday is my favourite day of the week (besides Sunday) because quite often In Our Time is on BBC Radio 4. This weeks episode was on Captain Cook, which was excellent. It doesn't matter what the subject is (although naturally I prefer anything to do with classical studies, philosophy or most especially Roman history) because I find each episode as fascinating as it is informative. I still think the Beeb should do an In Our Time on Marcus Tullius Cicero, as there is not one already as he was a great statesman and an excellent orator.
I saw Wolfae briefly last night. Naturally she is engrossed in FB and spotify, showing me her latest playlist. I fear she may not pass her degree until the next decade, by which time I should hope to have relinquished my time in the provinces.
I am utterly absorbed by reading Cassius Dio's History of Rome and it is a shame that Waterstones have not yet sent the book I ordered two weeks ago, for I much prefer reading a tangible hard-copy rather than squinting at the slow-turning virtual edition. In any case, I have to get on with my assignment. Toodle-pip!
