My boss has returned home from her trip to Scotland safe and well. I was an anxious mess on Monday when I hadn't heard from her. Another friend provided me with the phone number for her husband, so I called him and got caught up on several things. Such as the fact he retired a few months ago and that he is no longer the 50-something genius with dark hair and beard that I remember, he's now a 70-year-old genius with mostly dark hair and a white beard. They had a good time at Worldcon (yay!) and did not contract COVID (also yay). The pace of my job has increased rather dramatically now that she's home again.

I finished reading Nic Saint's Purrfect Cruise and have now put humans who speak cat aside for a mystery with a non-talking dog, In Dog We Trust. This is the first book in the series by Neil S. Plakcy, but it is not the first one of these I have read. It is also not the book I meant to open on my kindle as I was hoping it was the other one I own and haven't read, the one that has something to with the main character's faith. I know I like the series and keep hoping more will show up on eReaderdailyIQ Daily as free books.

I also finished "reading" the audiobook At Bertram's Hotel: A Miss Marple Mystery. I was listening to it as knit, which is a delightful thing particularly when Miss Marple herself is knitting in the story. The hat is coming along and I am beginning to suspect I won't finish it until next month, when Delicious Death reads Third Girl: A Hercule Poirot Mystery. I'm hoping I can find a version read by Hugh Fraser as always does a wonderful job.

Last weekend Jebra went up north to visit with his brother and his parents. His parents have now reached the age where they sleep a lot so he didn't get to spend may hours with them, but he enjoyed his time with his brother so all is well. While he was gone I hung out the Starsky & Hutch folks, watching the two-part Plague thing, which was fitting as one of us had returned from Worldcon with COVID. On Sunday I joined my crafting folk online and had a good time but I couldn't tell you what we talked about if even if you offered me a thousand dollars.

I think that catches me up, but maybe not as this morning I discovered I had somehow managed not to catch up on my Dreamwidth and LiveJournal reading. I'm going to try for that today, so wish me luck.
