Some time last night it started raining, and is still coming down quite steadily - nothing like the wimpy rain we got on Thursday.  Since we are behind on our annual precipitation amount (and in Phoenix that isn't very much to begin with) rain is (almost) always a good thing here.  Except that it doesn't do my achy bones any favors.

 But between the heating pad and the hot tub, I'm expected to survive... <G>

And of course at least it's not snow... if it'd arrived earlier this month during our outrageous cold spell, we might still be shoveling our way out!

Last evening we watched a 'quirky comedy' on Netflix which neither of us had heard of, Jesus Henry Christ.  

It was entertaining -
and certainly better than most of the stuff on TV these days!

Garry arrives from Ottowa today.  Too bad this weekend's weather isn't like last weekend's balmy sunshine.  But it's still gotta be better than the weather he left behind at home!

Yesterday I finished reading a novel about Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's 'wild child'.  While not great literature it was certainly entertaining and readable - but obviously many liberties (openly admitted by the author) were taken with the available historical facts. Now I've moved on to You Saved Me, Too which promises to be a great book and kept me up way too late last night!  

Since today is a perfect day to just stay inside and curl up with a good book
I expect to get a lot more reading done.
