Welcome to Litsy!

My dishwasher is being difficult. My husband has the patience of a saint when it comes to troubleshooting solutions with Google 😇 we got it working but then I woke up to dirty dishes and F11 again. So I‘ve spent 5 hours cleaning and listening to this waiting for a call back about service ( they can come Wednesday morning) and I‘m now addicted to this author

Only 2 bags left of Sherlock and then I have to rework my bookshelves

The Lego streetscape got set up today, we put up some of the shelves yesterday. I knew exactly where I wanted this extended shelf and what I was putting on it, now the tricky part with the other shelves and where to put them and what on them. The bookshop that is part of this is on a bookshelf with books about bookshops and libraries. As one does

My first Ann Cleeves

Initially,I was unsure as to how I felt about this book,wondering was it because of its slow pace?But then I realized it was for me,a new way of experiencing the reading of a murder mystery.The story is narrated through the eyes of the villagers,& of two in particular, who took it upon themselves to try and solve the murder. Inspector Ramsey was just at the periphery of the story, rather than its main protagonist & driving force of the plot.

Woke around 5:30. Had coffee on my porch- it was sweat shirt weather. Sun wasn‘t totally up yet over the trees. Quiet except for bird song. Two hummingbirds flitted through my bee balm. One flew up on the porch, sipped some geranium nectar,then flitted back to a feeder & flower pot on a Shepard s hook. I did not read; just sat taking my surroundings in while sipping my coffee. Bliss.

Friday morning coffee in early morning stillness.Visited by a hummingbird who flew onto the porch as if to greet me. #coffeeandbooks #porchlife

I enjoyed this read, including a glimpse of the irascible Vera's family history. Though I would have liked a map to track the action as Vera criss-crossed the countryside!
