Loved visiting Eton today and seeing, amongst other things, one of the 5 existing originals of Keats's death mask, some of Shelley's graffiti, and the oldest classroom in continuous use in Europe (potentially the world)

Saw The Zone of Interest last night, a film in which nothing unpleasant happens on-screen but is nonetheless indescribably horrible. I had to purposefully un-tense my body every 5 minutes. Invades your imagination and makes you imagine the worst things imaginable happening behind the wall
