I‘m so glad we added that “Ish”, it‘s so forgiving. (Weather changes and flare ups seem to happen together hmm)

Tregulla is set in Cornwall about ill advised young love, with lots of colorful locals. Visiting moon is set against the impending war, a tale of family and some romance.

So dark so quick this evening, felt like the day was over before it began. But I love cozy. So it‘s blankets, tea and some Agatha Christie.

I‘m on chapter 3. This is longer than I thought it to be. Who‘s joining in on this one? I really enjoyed Chuzzlewit!! Anyone else? Thoughts?

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

I‘m grateful for so many. Today‘s mention shall be Agatha Christie. Not just for the mysteries themselves but also for all the adaptations they‘ve inspired.

#MajicMonday @Eggs
The best Halloweens I ever had were when we lived in Dublin. It was a serious affair. We would spend weeks building a community bonfire and guarding it so no others would rob it. The day of Halloween we ate colcannon and barmbrack, dressed up in costumes and partied with the neighborhood at the bonfire to scare all the evil away. It was my favorite night of the year.

This was fun to figure out.
Heading west it‘s Hawaii at 5,040 miles
Heading east it‘s Rhodes, Greece at 5,000 miles
North it‘s Quebec City at 342 miles
South it‘s the Canary Islands at 3,248 miles

#BeautyBreak @ImperfectCJ

This is the time of year when I say, I could never leave New England, while realizing that by January I will wonder why I live in a place that hurts my face and halfway through March I will seriously question my sanity. It‘s for this, this perfect fall.

Only one ghost, but pretty central to the plot.

It‘s a candy day!! Completed @dabbe ‘s survey and then my husband came in with this haul. Coincidence? There‘s a European food store near where he works. Hopefully this will last a bit. 🤞

I can‘t stop listening to True Believer since Hayley Williams performance on the Tonight Show. I keep watching it and took a deep dive, analysing the lyrics. It was powerful!!!

#WeirdWordsWednesday @CBee

I know this is a beautiful word, but I laughed when I saw it because when you learn Irish, one of the first things you learn is I am hungry, sad, tired etc Ta mé tuirseach. I just think it‘s funny that I was telling the world I had a soul deep fatigue at the age of five!! Maybe that‘s why the Irish are known for their melancholy. Lol

#ChildrenClassicReads2025

This is a great introduction to the Salem Witch Trials. It would make for some really good discussions in sixth grade and possibly some parallels to the present would be made unfortunately.
