Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

-

As I write this it is Tuesday evening. Things are good so far with the baseball playoffs. Up two games to none.

Weather is super nice for this time of year, super warm in the 80s. So that has meant open windows for both me and Dobby. By the end of the week it is going to be much cooler.   

Premeditated Mortar - buildings over 100 years old are being renovated, bringing them from their old purpose of being an insane asylum into shops, condos and a hotel. Protests and some strange people hanging around, some of whom have ties to when the place still housed patients. Plus a couple of recent deaths happen and how they relate to previous uses and abuses. 

The Bodyguard - The movie with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. I got bored with in about 2/3 of the way through and moved to the end. I mostly wanted to see how they fit in "And I Will Always Love You" into the movie. Yep, it was at the end!

The Killing Tide - Dupin's least favorite case, one where he must be on a boat from island to island trying to solve three murders, a stolen relic and smuggling. 

Not Quite Dead Yet -  this one started slow, but WOW did it get crazy. Jet is attacked, fracturing her skull, nearly killing her. Her injuries will kill her within a week, so she sets off with a friend to figure out who attacked her, and why. 

 






Happy reading

    Sometimes, a book starts slow and stays slow, so I'll DNF.
    But starting slow, but picking it up is a goldmine!

    You read some diverse titles. I love libraries, too, I agree books are important for everyone.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

As I work on this post it is before the Brewer's baseball game tonight. So don't know if they won or lost, but they only need one more win to move to the next round. EDITED WED AM - they lost, play again Wednesday PM.  Also, one month to election day. I am so tired of all of the ads and I am trying to watch minimal TV or record things so I can fast forward through the ads.  Just getting over a bad upper respiratory thing. Less coughing and sneezing and I am starting to get good sleep. Still have sinus draining.   Wonderful weather, windows open!  Isola - historical fiction based upon the actual person of Marguerite de la Rocque de Roberval. An heiress orphaned at a young age, her guardian spends her inheritance, takes her to New France (Canada) and abandons her when she develops a relationship with his man servant. She eventually makes her way back home, gaining the respect of the Queen of France.  Furious Minds - didn't completely read this book. Outline...

Baseball playoffs are in full swing, so getting lots of crochet done. Not watching every game, but enough. Milwaukee Brewer's start play on Saturday. So far the teams I would like to move on are moving on and a bit happy that the Chicago Cubs are going home.   Dealing with a hacky cough, don't feel super bad, but sound terrible. When I have been out in public I have been wearing a mask so I don't cough on people. Staying home a lot too. Sleeping better the past few days to that helps. Plus my raspy voice is healing too.  Next blanket is made with color Rainy Day from Herrschnerrs. Fitting, having lots of rainy days this week.    Happy weekend.
