Rain and thunderstorms here, which the weather service says will last until Friday. So much for a free ticket to the boat parade tonight.

I faced high waters on the road while coming to work this morning. My boss and a coworker both turned around and have decided it was safer to work from home today.

Lousy timing for all this rain.

All day yesterday felt like Saturday to me.

I suppose "Grantchester" broke the spell.

Has anyone noticed how the priest is only "seldom" seen in priest's garb this season? Every time I see him in his collar, I'm taken aback.

DR Ron, my brother is a fan of the show. We watched a few episodes of season 1 and stopped, and the 1st episode of season 2. We watched enough to know what you are talking about. 😆

I have been playing with my new tablet instead of reading.

Jane · « **Reply #41 on:** April 18, 2016, 07:46:47 AM »

Now to get up and play with my new computer.

Bryan purchased Google Play Music for the family and I need to figure out how to do it on my phone.

I also need to figure out how to stop Facebook notifications when I am reading.

DR KATE and DR RLP - I forgot about THE V.I.P.S. which is indeed a very good film.....everyone looks great....and it's very involving.

One of my favorite bits is about Orson Welles and his Italian actress who can't act - played by an actress who can't act....and probably doesn't know she's the joke....

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton both look so good in this movie, and you also have Maggie Smith, Rod Taylor, and Laurence Harvey.....not too shabby.

Monday afternoon greetings! I've been up since before 7, but puttering a bit. It's gloriously sunny and warm here today.

George Guidall is perfect on most every book he reads.

I think his reading of Beach Music and I Know This Much Is True are better than the books themselves.

I wasn't keeping close attention to my battery lights.

I was at the bow of the ship (on my deck) when the battery started its death beep.

DR TCB, what a nice surprise!

I tried to push it as fast as I could without over stressing the battery.

I am home from Columbia to encounter more bad news from the Library of Congress on the McGlinn front. The left had down in DC knows not what the right hand is up to. This is so irritating.

Everyone with cabins on the port side of Deck 9 heard my scooter mournfully beep every six feet.
