More of a history of Hungary as a whole rather than about Budapest, but very enjoyable and readable, even if the 20th Century was thoroughly depressing. Of course I'll read anything featuring the period of the dual monarchy, that mad, polyglot paradoxical civilisation that was lost forever on the Eastern Front. Hottest day of the year so far, 30 degrees currently. Poor Fred is on his DoE practice expedition today so will be melting on Horsell Common somewhere. I struggled to sleep last night as it was so hot, and as Buzz needed to go to the Vets for an operation all the windows were shut to keep him in. Hopefully will sleep better tonight
