Weather has gotten back to normal temperatures. That means some open windows during the day. Even a little bit open overnight. Gotta have fresh air.
Trivia on Monday night. Our favorite waiter was working but he wasn't assigned to our table. I was a little late getting there and ran into him as I entered and he said hi. Later he came by the table and helped us out with a few questions.
We usually do OK but not great on the trivia, but this week we ended up with 74 out of 84 points and were tied with another team. So they asked one final question and whichever team was the closet would win. Question was "In Home Alone how much did they pay for the pizza order?" We guessed $125, the other team guessed $75. The actual answer was $122. So for the first time ever we WON!
Mosquitos still nasty so not much yard work getting done. I could do it but I don't wish to be bitten and even bug spray won't keep them away. I had one in the house the other day and it took me a while before I managed to slap it dead.
I took myself to the movies this week. They finally released the movie of the theater production of Hamilton to regular theaters. This was the original Broadway cast production and has been shown on the Disney network the past few years instead of being released to theaters back in 2020. I had seen a touring stage company a few years ago but this was better!
The Book Stops Here Brooklyn has been hired to serve as an on air appraiser for the show This Old Attic. When the first person she does an appraisal for is found murdered, she wonders who could have done it. Lots of twists in this one. This series is one of my favorites.
Scotland Yard interesting book in that the authors go through how the London police moved to the modern police methods. Using fingerprints and other evidence clues that we now consider typical. However, the numerous examples of real life crimes got to be a bit much for me and I didn't read the entire book.
Happy Reading

ReplyDeleteConcats on the trivia win!
ReplyDeleteWatched the movie you saw at my sister's home last year, after I listened to the audiobook that the play is based on.
Loved the King George bits especially.
My non-fiction book club is reading Ron Chernow's "Mark Twain" for February 2026.
May take me from now until then to get through it; Chernow's book are HUGE!
ConCats on being a winner!
ReplyDeleteMosquitoes, ugh.
