Flavia is supposed to be living in 1950s England, but some of the words just didn't fit. Maybe I was just feeling exceptionally picky!

We had a tornado watch for most of the night. I couldn't sit up worrying about it. Decided animals are supposed to know when there's something wrong with weather. Went to bed "assuming" they would let me know if something was wrong. I may have that assumption totally wrong, but at least I slept well and didn't worry about it.<br /><br />You're welcome! I hope you enjoy Flavia if you get a chance to try the books.

Flavia sounds intriguing and I'm looking forward to reading about her exploits. <br /><br />Just wanted to thank you (again!) for all of the books and authors you have introduced me to over the years. <br /><br />Also, glad you and the "Sweeties" are all settled in ... you truly an inspiration. <br /><br />PatriciaPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362243803036954972noreply@blogger.com
