Day Four

After another torrid night, I think my fever finally broke this morning. I slept far better and in the afternoon I had sufficiently improved to spend two hours pottering in the garden. Later I even did an hour's writing (still on Value and Volumes).

Then I completed Lillian Smith’s extraordinary 1944 saga of the Deep South Strange Fruit - released in the slip-stream of Gone With the Wind and utterly refusing to pull its punches. Social realism at its best.

Maybe it's all over?
