Reading

I just finished the latest by Elizabeth George--"A Banquet of Consequences"--another from the Lynly series.  Some of her books just don't take my interest, and I leave them after the first couple of chapters.  Others grab me, and, like this one, I just can't put them down.  The characters are so well developed, and each one has a back story. Fascinating. And they all involve the same main characters, as well as a host of others.  In her books these "others" tend to take the main stage, and revolve around occasional input from the continuing characters.  She also has away of presenting some, on occasion but not on a regular basis, of the most depraved behaviour, in a very proper English way.  Very matter of fact but in socially acceptable terminology.  Her pattern is to base books on an instance of such behaviour, and to hint at it, but not reveal it until very close to the end.  Instead we get all of the events leading up to it.

We didn't see "Star Wars" yesterday.  I took my information from the Saturday paper, and somehow the times of the show got changed.  We arrived an hour late.  But David bought advance tickets for today instead, so we're off again, this afternoon.

And the crazy old woman is back.  Yesterday she couldn't find her "mouse".  She searched everywhere, even checking the pockets of the clothes she had been wearing--bathroom, fridge etc.  Finally she made her husband join in the searched.  He walked up to the computer and pointed out the "mouse" sitting right beside it, where it usualy sat.
