Whatever happens to strike my fancy, but surely some sort of fiber content.

Bess, I have to say the Bride's dress was gorgeous. It fits her so perfectly.

It was a perfect weekend, with glorious weather and time to enjoy it. Did a little spinning. Did a little knitting. And did drink my coffee down on the pier - just in time, too. BD will be doing pier repair work this week. Or at least, he should be.

What I'm Reading

What I've Just Read

I know I'm coming to it late but I have been in a 30 year thrall with Follett's Eye of the Needle and had not wanted to read anything else of his because that had been one of my few Perfect Reads. When one has had perfection one doesn't want to tamper with that pure pleasure by trying to top it. I shan't re-read it either, since a Perfect Experience depends so much on where you are at the moment. If I'm not in the same place when I re-read a book, I may not have the same reaction. Far better to hold on to the memory of perfection.

I was willing to give this one a try because it was so different from his regular spy/thriller/adventure stories. I figured I'd be less likely to make comparisons. I was right. The sweeping saga of midieval cathedral buildilng caught me up for a delicious week of reading. I loved imagining England full of wilderness. I was a bit surprised at the amount of traveling - and the distances traveled - by folk who were not particularly wealthy, but that was just a wee bit of a literary leap and heck, how would I know how far a skilled craftsman might journey 800 years ago.

That civil war between Maud and Stephen that brought Henry II to the throne is fertile ground for many authors - I am thinking here of Ellis Peter's Brother Cadfael novels and my own beloved Roberta Gellis' admittedly tawdry titled, but oh so wonderfully written The Sword and the Swan

What those stars mean

Could just barely stand it - but something made me want to see how it turned out

EH.

Good but with serious flaw/s - or else trivial, in a Frosted Flakes sort of way

Pretty darn good

Wow!
