Oh, no, Mad. I know you've had some miserable heat on the other side of the pond.

Hagatha, my sister's husband had a long battle with cancer and the side effects of a stem-cell transplant. She said she always knew when they had upped his prednisone dosage because he would be out in the garage at 3 am changing oil in a vehicle.

I agree, Mad.

for all tose links Orion.

No, I haven't tried these games. Let me know when you do.

Dan, I think that within the last 6 months we have entered that age as AI has loomed much more prominently than previously, but I am reasonably confident that Herbie (our mower) will remain on our property rather than moonlighting for the neighbours!

A perfect run!

Merci Jackie.

You nailed it, Sherlock.

It's a substantial amount of history, Fogfighter! I hope you're still enjoying it.

Lex,
I found I lost the plot a couple of times in The Shrine, mainly because of a bunch of unplanned real life interruptions. After going back and reading a couple of chapters, everything fell into place, so it wasn't Thomson's fault but my own lack of concentration that led to confusion.

While waiting for the arrival of Bennett's new Ana and Din mystery, I'm reading The Artist and the Feast by Lucy Steeds. In the first page and a third of this novel a woman is standing in front of a painting in a museum. In that short amount of time, the author provides a massive hook regarding the past that this reader couldn't resist. I will continue reading, not just because the writing is good, but because I want to know why.
