It was a pretty miserable day yesterday with rain on and off all day. So I had the chance to finish this new (to me) puzzle which has kept me entertained for the last week or so. It is quite a whopper but not particularly difficult.
Yesterday's rain got rid of almost all the remaining snow piles but my snow bank is hanging on although remarkably diminished. Won't be long now until it is gone.
I have just started this book by Katrine Engberg, a Danish author I recently discovered. She writes crime novels with the same two detectives solving the cases. The first was "The Tenant" which I enjoyed and there is a third one, "The Harbor" which I have reserved from the library. So that should keep me busy for a few weeks.
Another treat is in store for me although it won't be for a while. There is a new Donna Leon book coming soon to the library but there are already 220 people ahead of me in the line. I hope the library has ordered plenty of copies! This one also features Commisario Brunetti and all the other endearing characters which make her detective stories so comfortable to read. It's like listening to old friends. Can't wait!
Despite two sunny days with the temperatures in the low 'teens, the snow bank has only shrunk a little. Rain is forecast for tomorrow so that might speed things up a bit. However, I am now able to get out of the driveway without having to drive over an icy mound, so things are looking up!
More grass showing today.
Here`s the snow bank today. I didn`t take a photo yesterday as it snowed big fat flakes all day and I added to the pile when clearing the driveway.. At least the pile is white again!
