Sunny Day

Wowza! What a lovely sunny day it has been
I managed three hours of sunbathing
I listened to an audio book whilst tanning
Then dreamt of Dakota Fanning.

The book i listened to was The Short History of Everything
By that avuncular American Bill Bryson.
I am now in the middle of chapter nine
With quantum physics and the nature of time.

Tomorrow i will be in Eastbourne
For three covert phone shop visits.
So hoping the weather stays fine
Coastal sea breeze and brine.

Book 32 - Robert Hutchinson "Thomas Cromwell"

Robert Hutchinson "Thomas Cromwell: The Rise and Fall of Henry VIII's Most Notorious Minister" (Orion)




This was an intriguing, easy to read account of the career of Thomas Cromwell, notorious chief minister to Henry VIII.

Robert Hutchinson sets out the main events of Cromwell's life and times without going into much detail. . Hutchinson brings to life the Tudor court in all its madness and corruption, illustrating how easy it was to fall foul of the king and meet a gruesome end. Some of it being very gruesome so i recommend reading without eating food in front of you.

This is really just a primer and he does write in an engaging style and hence this book would be a good starting point for anyone interested in Henry VIII's world or that of the Tudors in general.
