To be sure, this is always a holiday I feel a little strange about "celebrating" - it's not just that I'm not American, but it's not exactly a pro-British day ... Nor, really, today, does a whole lot of America feel independent from - well, other Americans. But on the other hand, it's wonderful to have an excuse to open a bottle of wine on a Monday night, and to take the day more-or-less off - that is, I did a great deal of tidying my study here, which involved re-discovering a lot of crazed pandemic buys (a box of mini flash-lights? complicated exercise bands, with handles? a mask that covers my whole head, apart from the eyes, in the guise of an orange and white cat?).
