You got some 'splainin' to do.



Sorry for not posting in several days. Life has become rather complicated in my family so I wasn't able to be on the computer much. I may continue, I don't know.



Because of the chaos going on in my life, I've been having a reading slump. Yesterday, I decided to do a re-read of something that I loved when I first read it and it has been long enough for it to seem new again, if you know what I mean.

Currrently re-reading THE NOVICE'S TALE by Margaret Frazer. 1st of 17 in series featuring Dame Frevisse, a medieval nun in Oxfordshire, England.

Autumn 1431, the nuns of England's St. Frideswide's prepare for the simply ceremonies in which the saintly novice Thomasine will take her holy vows. But their quiet lives of beauty and prayer are thrown into chaos by the merciless arrival of Lady Ermentrude Fenner and her retinue of lusty men, sinful women, and baying hounds. The hard-drinking dowager even keeps a pet monkey for her amusement. She demands wine, a feast... And her niece, the angelic Thomasine. The lady desires to enrich herself and her reputation by arranging a marriage for the devout novice. She cares nothing for the panic and despair she leaves behind her. But all her cruel and cunning schemes are brought to a sudden end with strange and most unnatural murder. As suspicious eyes turn on the pious Thomasine, it falls to Sister Frevisse, hosteler of the priory and amateur detective, to unravel the webs of unholy passion and dark intrigue that entangle the novice and prove her innocence... or condemn her.
Published 1992,  239 pages.

Last night was episode 3 of the new season of NCIS: Los Angeles. "Assets":

During the murder investigation of a Navy Lieutenant on leave in Los Angeles, the NCIS team uncovers classified surveillance briefs she smuggled into the city that may have been sold to a foreign buyer.
Best scene:




Tonight I have Scorpion "Nuke Kids on the Block":

A simple accident while decommissioning an old nuclear missile causes Team Scorpion to be exposed to toxic vapor. But they must endure it to prevent the nuke from detonating. Meanwhile, Paige confronts Happy about constantly tagging along with her and Walter.



But I may not stay up to watch it and will watch the Amazon Instant ep tomorrow.

Have a great day




Much love,
