I hope you had a lovely week. I’m sure most kids are back to school. That can be a good thing or not. The kids across the street are not liking the early morning routine.
Let’s get right to it….
what I’m reading
A fellow blogger recommended The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, which I read/listened to and I liked it so much that I started the second book in that series: The Man Who Died Twice.
The Thursday Murder Club was made into a film and is currently streaming on Netflix. Unfortunately I don’t have Netflix so… I understand it’s “mostly” true to the book.
what I’m watching
The hummingbirds are constantly buzzing around our three feeders. They are territorial and don’t like any other hummers drinking from their feeder. It’s so fun to watch them dart in and out between the porch posts. They are loading up for their flight to more warmer regions for the winter months.
I take the feeders down when I don’t see any more birds for a few days. Do you have hummingbirds in your area? Do you feed them?

what I’m doing
One of my goals for this summer was to do some outside painting but it was just too hot. This week was cooler with less humidity so I painted the outside trim around the garage doors. I still need to paint the outside basement door and trim and touch up the trim around the front door. I’ll tackle those next week, weather permitting.
Don’t let anything bring you down. Enjoy your week to the fullest!

I have a pair of hummers. The feeder was empty and Mr. Hummer buzzed me to let me know!! I promptly filled the feeder and he was so happy!!

I’m so glad you liked the Thursday Murder Club! I watched the movie the other night and yes, it was mostly true to the book. I’m excited to see if the rest are made into movies too.
Our hummingbirds fight! It’s crazy to watch them chase each other off the feeders. We’ll take those down in a few weeks, I always try to put it off as long as possible.

I like all of the actors though I’m not too familiar with Celia Imrie. Reading the second book in the series and having a face to go with the character is making the book more fun.

I think I’ve read three Osman books in the series; i generally avoid mysteries, but these are gentle enough to not keep me awake!
