Wednesday. Coda is in the doggo hospital. They wanted to give him IV antibiotic and really super clean out his wound under sedation. It was hard leaving my baby there last night. So hard. And as much as Ryker is annoyed by him, Ryker is acting a little lost without his little brother.
So I took Ryker to work with me today. The vet, I think, wants to keep Coda for a couple days so Ryker will have another bring-your-pet-to-work day tomorrow. He finds it very boring. He mostly sleeps. But sleep in work air conditioning or home air conditioning?
Currently reading THE ROSE CODE by Kate Quinn. Stand alone.
1940. As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything—beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses—but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets. Imperious self-made Mab, product of east-end London poverty, works the legendary codebreaking machines as she conceals old wounds and looks for a socially advantageous husband. Both Osla and Mab are quick to see the potential in local village spinster Beth, whose shyness conceals a brilliant facility with puzzles, and soon Beth spreads her wings as one of the Park’s few female cryptanalysts. But war, loss, and the impossible pressure of secrecy will tear the three apart.
1947. As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, three friends-turned-enemies are reunited by a mysterious encrypted letter--the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an asylum. A mysterious traitor has emerged from the shadows of their Bletchley Park past, and now Osla, Mab, and Beth must resurrect their old alliance and crack one last code together. But each petal they remove from the rose code brings danger--and their true enemy--closer...
Published 2021; 646 pages. I usually don't care for WWII stories but I'm really liking it.
Probably because I'm reading that nonfiction book on Churchill.
Steve's got the gun range tonight. I may bead; I'll probably read. Then bedtime.
Have a good day
Much love,
