Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Location: UK		Oh dear,such a bad month for reading. Mr Dusty seemed to decline cognitively at an accelerated rate for several weeks,being suspicious and paranoid. One night he wandered off in the dark and fell or collapsed. Smashed his front teeth,cut his cheek,and forehead and lay in the dark and cold,not ideal for an 88 year old man. Waited ages for an ambulance and he was in hospital 9 days.But he is tough as an old boot,has regained some strength,and it turned out he had a water infection which had exacerbated his cognitive issues. Treatment has helped,he is a little more alert and focused,but as you can imagine reading has barely been on the agenda at all. A couple of Edgar Allan Poe stories,and some crime and Kindle Unlimited reads were all I managed in my worst reading month ever since joining this group in 2012!
Doesnt look like I'll complete my WWEnd challenges,first time ever,but we keepplodding
