I tell ya folks I am not getting much reading done during this pandemic. My mind is too busy and I have trouble concentrating. After a rough grocery shopping experience, I watched the movie The Aeronauts based on the book Falling Upwards. It is a visually stunning movie. I enjoyed it but it has its slow moments. Didn't they have gloves in 1860s? It distracted my mind for 2 hours which is what I needed. Did you watch this movie?

hilded I barely read a thing in March as well, too distracted. Hope you are all well 💗 (edited) 4y

Fascinating read on the history of ballooning, particularly the people.
