How Many Toys Do You Need?!
Chis and I sailed over to Oyster Bay on Long Island yesterday, and dropped the anchor in one of our favourite spots. We were being chased by a thunderstorm out in Long Island Sound, so we headed in a little early. The winds were a little light. We read, lounged, and had barbequed salmon with stir-fried veggies and a big salad. It was a delightful evening, so very far from New York City.
On Sunday morning, we were having breakfast when we heard a growing noise that became almost deafening. It was a helicopter, perched on the back deck of this massive motor vessel. It took off. We pondered the places it might be going. Drug run? Breakfast in New York? Or maybe to church? Hmmm.
Oh! I finished Ken Follett's "World Without End", the epic sequel to the equally epic sequel "Pillars of the Earth". Both excellent, although I think I enjoyed Pillars more.
I started another book that Chis got me for Christmas - "The Thames: An Autobiography". I'm struggling to get into it, but I do love historical fiction!
