Nancy Well, I did stitch for a little bit - 30-40 stitches in a nice enclosed area in one color. LOL - I'm feeling the same way. But, DH is reffing a double of summer HS/College hockey tonight, so I'm solo. Which means really light "salad for dinner" and stitch-a-thon. I think we may have carpenter ants too. After the dog goes back tomorrow, I think I have find some heavier duty ant killer. I'm sorry. I'm glad that at least this house with the tubes in the walls, which get charged with pesticide every 3 months, seems to work. We had ants aboaut 2.5 moonths ago, the guy came out, recharged the tubes, (we were overdue), and did some stuff in the yard. Ants gone. The dog feed station is near the sliders to the deck from the breakfast room - and that's where we had them. But, all cleaned up. Our close friends have been battling the ant thing for 2 years - it's a mess, they're on the 2nd service, put down traps, all kinds of things. Which book? C Ah, that's a conundrum. If you haven't read the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, start at the beginning and go for it. It's quite uplifting, IMHO, in the way it just kind of looks at life. Ellice I've thought about picking up that series, but a good friend, with similar reading taste, did not like it at all. Yeah - but who do you trust??? Seriously, it's not overwhelmingly romantic or mysterious. But, the puzzles aren't predictable. And they're nicely written. What I liked really is the presentation of modern day Botswana. I've kept reading them, even after watching the HBO series which covers the first few books. The HBO series is really good, and IMHO, a bit enlightening for those of us who haven't been to modern Africa. There is a lot of nice thoughtfulness, I think, WRT how the heroine approaches life, it's issues, values, and sticks to her guns. But, not either a fantasy or bodice ripper. Just charming. I'm quite entranced by "The Thirteenth Tale" - enough to consider adding to my permanent library if I get the chance. Cheryl OK - I'm due for a library run soon as I have a ton of art books to return - only one of which was really worth much. But, my stitching marathon needs are dire enough that I think I'm going to skip the Thursday group as my big piece is on the floor stand, and I think I stitch slower when I'm with the crew. Ellice |

So you can read it whienever you want. I have book one. I found it to be ok, but not engrossing enough to pick up book 2. I have had the Thirteen Tale on my wish list for a while, maybe I pick that one up next. I have some Borders certificates I need to spend. VEG -Margaret in MA So when are we going to Borders dear!

It be Saturday!
So where is the Rain you all were talking about? Wanted workmen to do some outside work on the house, but they want it cooler since it outside first. And too dry for cross stitch without getting water stains on fabric........lol P.S. Suppose to be 34 C (93 F) today and same Sunday then cools later in week. Guess not bad when past years got to 40 C (104 F) as a cool day and the new electronic thermostats says "HI" when it gets over 42 C. lol "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ...

Not quite as warm as yours - 16C/61F - but quite warm enough when working in the garden. -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK http://claremont.islandblogging.co.uk |
