Tough decisions,
issybird. Of course, you could listen to the remaining Vance versions of the Aubrey/Maturin series, then turn around and start back at the beginning with the Patrick Tull versions.
Seriously, though, the lack of swimming is a tough one. I've got my own pool but still can't swim because of my shoulder problems, and I'm very much missing it. (And at this rate, I'll have forgotten everything that happened in my current swimming book,
With All Dispatch by Alexander Kent (Douglas Reeman). )
FWIW, we've started working our way through the ITV Sharpe series, with Sean Bean and Daragh O'Malley, on Acorn TV. They start at
Sharpe's Rifles.
