Latest additions: Catherine the Great's memoirs in German, and Volz's Friedrich der Grosse im Spiegel seiner Zeit. Courtesy of the royal patron, who was so dedicated as to download and email the files despite possibly having coronavirus. (I did text him saying not to worry about it and just go back to bed, but next thing I knew, I had an email from him.)

I see the royal reader has been hard at work, and I have many starred emails that I hope to catch up on soonish. Medication and chronic pain are kicking my butt lately. So much so that even the K-word has lost its magic. :(

But so far, I don't have the plague, and I'm successfully ramping up the medication dosage, so the future is looking good, at least.

Cheers and best of health to everyone in the salon and their loved ones.
