Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllll, I had planned turkey dinner for about 1:00. Discovered the roaster was plugged in to a not great outlet -- it kept connecting then not connecting. So ... dinner will be closer to the 3:00 mark. Not a terrible problem and thank goodness we're not having guests that would be inconvenienced. Sigh.
Currently reading THE CARDINAL'S COURT by Cora Harrison. 1st of new series featuring Hugh Mac Egan, a lawyer at Hampton Court during the reign of King Henry VIII.
Hampton Court, 1522. Two young men, both heirs to an earldom, both rivals. Their hatred comes to a climax when Queen Katherine of Aragon brings her ladies-in-waiting to Cardinal Wolsey's luxurious palace. One of the ladies, Anne Boleyn, is to marry James Butler, son of the Earl of Ormond in Ireland, but appears more attracted to Harry Percy, son of the Earl of Northumberland. And when a member of the cardinal’s staff is found shot dead with an arrow, Percy is quick to give evidence that implicates Butler. With Percy’s testimony unexpectedly backed by Boleyn, things start to look bleak for the young Irishman. Luckily, his father has sent a Brehon lawyer, Hugh Mac Egan, over from Ormond to draw up the marriage contract between the Butlers and the Boleyns. With many years’ experience in solving crimes, Mac Egan sets out to find the real killer.
