After a curry which I'd cobbled together from minced beef, mung beans and black eyed beans, I watched some films. After Laurel and Hardy in Hog Wild (1930), I watched Escapade (1955), starring Alastair Sim, John Mills and Yvonne Mitchell, followed by Alive and Kicking (1964), starring Kathleen Harrison, Sybil Thorndike and Stanley Holloway.
I couldn't get into them so read at the same time. The book I'm reading (The Italian Boy) probably isn't what I should be reading just now. It's about Resurrectionists in 1830s London, who resort to murder to supply 'subjects' to the anatomical schools. The social history was really interesting, but didn't do anything to cheer me up.
