Get it off me

 Tuesday.

 

Steve has a board meeting tonight. I have some beads to play with.We have a class, not this Saturday, but the one after that. This is the bracelet we're doing:

  And these are the beads I think I'll be using:

Sometimes you don't know how it will turn out in the pattern even though they look good in their containers. 

 

I've got Curse of Oak Island to view on TV. Apparently New Amsterdam finally starts their season but I'm not really that interested. We'll see. I may change my mind at the last minute. I forgot how cute he is.

 

 I also got the humongous clasp for the bling bracelet I started. I should continue with that, too.

 I finished the Lowell book/series. Kinda a bittersweet ending. There is a continuation for the main character in what looks like a couple trilogies. As much as I want to read more...

 

 In the meantime, I've started A MAN AT ARMS by STeven Pressfield. Stand alone (so far)

Jerusalem and the Sinai desert, first century AD. In the turbulent aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, officers of the Roman Empire acquire intelligence of a pilgrim bearing an incendiary letter from a religious fanatic to insurrectionists in Corinth. The content of this letter could bring down the empire. The Romans hire a former legionary, the solitary man-at-arms, Telamon of Arcadia, to intercept the letter and capture its courier. Telamon operates by a dark code all his own, with no room for noble causes or lofty beliefs. But once he overtakes the courier, something happens that neither he nor the empire could have predicted.

 Published 2021; 336 pages.

 And I started an Advanced Reading Copy via NetGalley of THE NIGHT HAWKS by Elly Griffiths 13th of 13 in series featuring Dr. Ruth Galloway, a forensic archaeologist, and Harry Nelson, a detective chief inspector, in the Saltmarsh area near Norfolk, England

There’s nothing Ruth Galloway hates more than amateur archaeologists, but when a group of them stumble upon Bronze Age artifacts alongside a dead body, she finds herself thrust into their midst—and into the crosshairs of a string of murders circling ever closer. Ruth is back as head of archaeology at the University of North Norfolk when a group of local metal detectorists—the so-called Night Hawks—uncovers Bronze Age artifacts on the beach, alongside a recently deceased body, just washed ashore. Not long after, the same detectorists uncover a murder-suicide—a scientist and his wife found at their farmhouse, long thought to be haunted by the Black Shuck, a humongous black dog, a harbinger of death. The further DCI Nelson probes into both cases, the more intertwined they become, and the closer they circle to David Brown, the new lecturer Ruth has recently hired, who seems always to turn up wherever Ruth goes.

 Will be published in June. 352 pages.

 So I'll also be reading before sleeping.

 Have a good day

 

Much love,
