Or a pizza. Probably a pizza.

You Can Still Hug Me if You Want


I finally got the book I ordered from the UK. So, I'm about to start MURDER ON HIGH HOLBORN by Susanna Gregory, 9th of 9 in series featuring Thomas Chaloner, a reluctant spy for the Earl of Clarendon during the Restoration in 1660s London. Here is a description:
In 1665 England faces war with the Dutch and the capital is awash with rumors of conspiracy and sedition. These are more frenetic than normal because of the recent sinking in the Thames of one of the largest ships in the navy, a disastrous tragedy that could very well have been caused by sabotage. As an experienced investigator, Thomas Chaloner knows that there are very few grains of truth in the shifting sands of the rumor-mill, but the loss of such an important warship and the murder of Paul Ferine, a Groom of the Robes, in a brothel favored by the elite of the Palace of White Hall makes him scent a whiff of genuine treason. As well as investigating the murder, Chaloner is charged with tracking down the leaders of a fanatical sect known as the Fifth Monarchists. He suspects his masters are not particularly concerned by their amateur antics, and that the order for him to infiltrate the group is intended to distract him from uncovering some unsavory facts about Ferine and his courtly associates. Then, as he comes to know more about the Fifth Monarchists and their meetings on High Holborn, he discovers a puzzling number of connections—to both Ferine's murder and those involved with the defense of the realm. Connections that he must disentangle before it is too late to save the country.
It was published in January 2014 (in the UK) (April 2014 in the US) and has 448 pages.

Yeah, the neck is still bothering me. But I've used Salonpas a couple times and what really helps is the "Bed Buddy":

 ... heated up for a minute in the microwave and it's heaven. One has to do that about every half hour but it's worth it. I call it the beanie baby.

 Tonight on TV is Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta and Cold Justice to watch.

Here's something for your Friday. I've loved the "Bad Lip Reading" crew since their presidential debate one and finding their other offerings. This is their newest, The NFL and it's hilarious:
