7. The Last Detective by Peter Lovesey

Mar 2020

Been filling in books that I half-finished and this is on the list. Not sure what is next up. Might make a start on the Oxford History of England.

Because I had the heart attack and may be vulnerable, my wife & I are "social distancing". Basically eschewing all human contact - as it stands we have enough supplies in to do this for about 6 weeks. She isn't vulnerable so if she is out and about we could even distance me from her. The suggestion here is that the vulnerable might have to exclude themselves for 4 months. THis would be awkward, but do-able.

Heart attacks are diagnosed by reference to troponin levels - different countries look at these differently. What I had was diagnosed as a heart attack here - in the US it would not have been.
