You know your brain is dead, when...

You watch a documentary about conscientious objectors and then you get madly inspired....

*thinks*  Oh - wouldn't it be lovely - a soldier who falls in love with a conscientious objector......

Then of course, it hits you like a mallet - er hello!  Renault did that, and far better than you could manage even with twenty brains...

imbecile!

I'm better pain-wise today, but I was right about the ear infection as today we have dizziness!  Lovely!  I still look like Pimple-kid though.  This'll teach me not to have spots as a teenager.

Yes, you had me thinking a lot about the conflict this would involve while I was in bed yesterday - Renault doesn't use this lynchpin in The Charioteer, the CO doesn't seem to object that his friend was a soldier and it doesn't seem to affect either of them, but I can really layer on the angst !!

hmm-I am rather surprised Renault missed that opportunity since to me it sounds like the whole point of writing a story featuring that sort of relationship! How could it not affect them? *sigh*.
