Sri Lanka all out for 95 runs after 16.3 overs. England win by 51 runs. Disappointing batting by both teams though 😢

I’ve spent most of today walking around Bristol, visiting some independent and secondhand bookshops, including

– Amnesty Bookshop, 103 Gloucester Road, Bishopton
– Second Page, The Galleries, Broadmead, Bristol
– Beware of the Leopard Books, St. Nicholas Market
– The Last Bookshop, 60 Park St
– Dreadnought Books, 125 St George’s Rd

Plus a couple of pubs for some real ale refreshment 🍺😊

Nearly 8 miles walked and only (!) five books purchased – a couple by C.S.Lewis, a biography of C.S.Lewis and two cricket books 🏏

Watched: The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis, 2021 – ★★★ 🎥

Not really an “untold story”, rather just little more than a well-performed monologue containing a series of quotes from Lewis’ writings. The backdrop of recreated, sometimes briefly dramatised, scenes from Lewis’ life are attractive enough to watch but I could almost as easily have listened to or read the monologue.
