Didn't read yesterday's instructions, did he


Saturday.



Got some groceries, walked Tug, doing some laundry. We went to see Avatar in the theatres late this afternoon. The movie is pretty but overall okay, not the super-fantastic they were saying. We saw it in the new 14-plex theatres -- horrible horrible place. Picture an airport; that's our 14-plex. If I can avoid that place, I will.




I'm currently reading A BEAUTIFUL BLUE DEATH by Charles Finch on my Kindle (LOVE my Kindle). This is 1st of 3 in series featuring Charles Lenox, a gentleman sleuth, in 1860s London, England. Here's a description:




Set in England in 1865, Lady Jane Grey's former servant, Prue Smith, dies in an apparent suicide-by-poisoning, Lady Jane asks Lenox, her closest friend, to investigate. The attractive young maid had been working in the London house of George Barnard, the current director of the Royal Mint. Lenox quickly determines that Smith's death was a homicide, but both Barnard and Scotland Yard resist that conclusion, forcing him to work discreetly. Aided by his Bunter-like butler and friend, Graham, the detective soon identifies a main suspect, only to have that theory shattered by that man's murder.

I don't know what we'll be doing tomorrow. It would be nice just to stay home and relax for the last day of the weekend. I do have some more cleaning/laundry to finish up.


Much love,
