That was joyous romp. The author obviously had the time of his life writing it, and given the source material it was much more exiting and imaginative than an ordinary history of warfare and diplomacy between the Ottomans and the west. I struggled to follow some of the characters as they made their way through shifting alliances, backstabbings and changes in fortune, but i don't think that mattered too much. here at home we have had a very light dusting of snow so it's all looking very christmassy. I've just caught the cold that Helen and Libby have had for a few days, so am feeling a little sorry for myself. Probably i should not be working, but I've dosed myself up on Lemsip and am reluctant to call in sick as I've only had 2 days off in 25 years.
