Sunday nights, and cozy days

I have grown very fond of Sunday night television.  At 6:00 on public television Downton Abbey is on for an hour.  Then Victoria came on after that and showed several episodes including the newest ones. I know it was after 11:00 when it was finished and I watched every second. Sadly the final one for the season is next Sunday and it seems it has just begun.  I don't understand programming. I am, however, grateful for WOSU and the shows they present. I know there are many more to come on Sunday nights.

I finally struggled through the latest Patterson book. Very disappointing, but then some might like it we can't all have the same taste.  I am determined to finish the newest Lee Child's book and it is another struggle. These two authors might want to hang it up.  They have had a good run. I just ordered Stuart Woods latest, said I wouldn't but I did and I read over half of it today.

I have two new products to figure out how to use. I wish I had not bought them, but I did so I am going to learn how to use them.  I have the pressure cooker/slow cooker.  I am still afraid of the pressure cooker but I could not resist the price slash, so I fell for it. This winter when I am trapped in the house and things are cozy and the fireplace is blazing, I will give it a go and probably fall in love with it.  Who knows? The other is an induction cooktop which looks to me like just another hot plate.
I will work on it.  Maybe I will find a big use for it when we have large gatherings.  But first I need to practice.  Next time something new comes on the market, stop me.
