Springtime Musings


I’ve been rather like this tea kettle lately. On the burner all February, typing like mad—a kettle at full pressure—and finally pouring out a not-too-shabby cuppa tea. Now, however, my whistle is spent. I perch on the stove, quiet and comfy, and there’s no smidgen of desire to type. Instead, I’m blissfully devouring old Agatha Christie’s, spending my days in general lazy enjoyment of life. Eventually, the heat will mount under me again and the softest whistle will begin. At that time, I’ll pull out my laptop and start editing. But until then, let Spring reading continue!

What's your favorite Christie novel? I've only read one, The Cat Among the Pigeons, but I loved that.

What's my favorite Christie???????

Well, don't miss The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Or And Then There Were None. (freaky)

Or ANY of those she wrote pre-60s. The later ones aren't so good.

Have you seen any of the BBC Miss Marple's (with Joan Hickson)? Pant, pant ... you must!!!!! 4:50 From Paddington!!!

Hey, Marie ... want to borrow my burner? :) Good luck editing your story ... I'll go over it with you at the waterpark!

I went through several Christie marathons when I was younger. Haven't done that for a couple of decades now. I'll have to re-visit them again. By now I've forgotten how they all go, I'm sure.

I have a copy of And Then There Were None, so I'll probably read that next.

No I haven't seen any of those...I'll check them out. :)
