Monday. Dark. It's in the 40s but feels colder. We all want to go home and take naps.
And none of us are cranky, just overwhelmed by nap-ness.
Currently reading THE LITTLE SHOP OF FOUND THINGS by Paula Brackston. 1st of Found Things trilogy.
Xanthe and her mother Flora leave London behind for a fresh start, taking over an antique shop in the historic town of Marlborough. Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine she has to know more. It is while she’s examining the chatelaine that she’s transported back to the seventeenth century where it has its origins. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter’s life, threatening to take Flora’s if she fails. While Xanthe fights to save the girl amid the turbulent days of 1605, she meets architect Samuel Appleby. He may be the person who can help her succeed. He may also be the reason she can’t bring herself to leave.
Published 2018; 316 pages. I'm liking it but I sometimes get annoyed at Xanthe when she seems so helpless with the ghost. Grrr.
I hadn't realized that the fourth season of The Crown on Netflex was this weekend. I thought it was going to be later in the month. So I accomplished nothing. I binged.
It's the Diana years.
I went to the bead shop on Saturday. No class. No class until the new year. But I worked on this bowl.
It was a test to learn the pattern. This is what I was thinking of giving the office people as a Christmas gift -- something unisex but everyone getting the same thing. I was thinking of something to put keys or change or whatever in. However, this pattern is very small. I want it to be bigger. I think I've figured out enough about it doing it on Saturday to make that happen.
Nothing on TV tonight. May just have dinner, read, and go to bed.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
