End of October

 A new author to me, I saw this book in a few places with great reviews, from the beginning you know Jo has another agenda, she is focused, the delivery of her secret is brilliant, which leads to a good ending, and like so many great books a final chapter once the story is finished. Book 86 read this year.

Another clever plot, a baby is found, DNA proves the mother is a local woman who disappeared 4 years ago. Chaos follows as the search is on for the mother, old reports are reviewed, people interviewed again, the police have to find her this time. A new author to me, this is the start of another DCI series. Book 86 read this year. 

Sunday was a cold bright day, just one quick storm, still very windy. Will and George were here whilst Molly went to a birthday bash at our local kids soft play venue. We spent the time inside, just to cold to play out, I got them party food for lunch and probably a few too many sweets, neither boy goes to too many parties, so we had treats here..

We changed the two clocks back an hour on Saturday night before bed, the rest reset themselves, our car will be done next time we are out in it, later this week, when it's in a local garage. I lit real candles on Sunday evening, we spent the whole time reading, we are not watching Strickly this year, we may pick it up nearer to Christmas. 

Monday was dull and wet when we got up, Lilly was again inside, she hates the rain as much as we do, I did get some sewing out, just at the cutting out stage, I have had my trusty note book out for a while, working out patterns. I will do a post when finished.

Today we have daughter and children, her car is on a garage recall, Molly is on a sleepover, George is at Grandma's, they popped in collect him from ours, tonight daughter and Will are having an evening together. 

Our house is warm and dry, I have no inclination to go out, we had planned a trip to the huge Asda store, but it's half term, so we can wait until next week, hubby has now given me a suggestion for his main Christmas gift, I have already chosen a new handbag for him to gift me, we do also get another small surprise gift, again this year we are not doing our stockings, they are expensive to fill and way too many edible treats go in them.
