The Weather....
OK it's a tad wet..still could be worse.could be snow...webbed feet/snowboots decisions decisions...Snow forecast for the weekend the rain also means that so far all the amazing Aurora shows have been hidden each night by low rain clouds...drat it
Books Read/reading....
Moved on to MC Beaton and some Agatha Raisin mysteries..
Hiss and Hers: An Agatha Raisin Mystery (no 23)
As The Pig Turns: An Agatha Raisin Mystery (no 22)
Agatha Raisin and the Busy Body :An Agatha Raisin Mystery (no 21)
Yep read them in the reverse order by chance rather than design...just fancied some easy reads for endlessly wet days....I'm not a complete fan but they worked for this weather. Taken with Tea and fruitcake (bye bye waistline)
Good radio with an Autumn dark evenings/Halloween feel
from 1977
a Saturday Night Theatre "Rightful Possession" by Valerie Georgeson
A couple move into an old house in the country aiming to live happily ever after... but what is that strange smell...and why does the antique cradle rock when it has not been touched? Rather creepy
Another SNT from 1978 starring Simon Cadell as the new Vicar "The girl who didn't want to be" by Frederick Bradnum.
Is there a ghost haunting the church? and if there is what should the Vicar and his wife do? A fun listen
A third SNT from 1981 "The Autonomous Murder Complex" also by Frederick Bradnum
Interesting ...is the main character an insane murderer? even he doesn't know.
And now for a Summer memory...I think this is a Magical Dragon iceberg ...what do you think?
One of the many joys of blogging and blog-reading is how many wonderful experiences you get to share - the Aurora! The iceberg! So far removed from my damp green village-y life here in the South West!
ReplyDeleteand I love visiting the green villages that I miss :0)
DeleteWhat a fantastic iceberg. You really do have some amazing scenery, I'm not sure I could cope with the cold, though.
ReplyDeleteI bought a set of 10 Agatha Raisin books last year and read them all when I was unwell and confined to the house. I felt very ambivalent about them, too, but they required no effort to read! I bet the tea and fruitcake helped.
Ambivalent is just the right word!
DeleteThe cold needs really good boots and gloves and lots of layers and a cosy stove ..then it's beautiful. (Without those conditions though I must confess it is cruel and totally and harshly indifferent to living things.)
I loved all of this. Such a fun telling of your daily life. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan :0)
DeleteWhat a fab iceberg! Good job it wasn't a fire breathing one.
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to some time reading in front of a crackling fire. Our forecast is looking good, so I guess I'll have to put it off a little longer.
I'll wish you some cosy reading time round the crackling fire ..it sounds
Deletemost inviting!
Waistline, schmaistline. Tea and fruitcake always yes and amen! The reads and radio sound good, too.
ReplyDeleteI er think I may have overdone the fruitcake Jodi.....lol
DeleteI have just read the Snow Child, set in Alaska, and thought of you. A very easy read, and somewhat comforting. I like to read a book with lots of snow in it. Complete fantasy, of course, as faced with the real thing my nose would fall off...
ReplyDeleteOk I have to find The Snow child Colleen.... I know what you mean about detachable noses though..mine has been in danger a few times ...help
