Cyrano

Have just watched Cyrano de Bergerac, an attempt at relaxation with integrated French revision by stressed-out IB daughter. I'd forgotten how sad it is: very beautiful, full of meaning and desperately atmospheric but tragic from start to finish. A fitting end to a gloomy day at the torch, more pieces broken than completed. My fault for ignoring the glass and attempting to override its nature.
