March Weekend.

Friday the 8th was the 66th anniversary of my wedding to Don.
Yesterday, Mothering Sunday, Amanda cooked a delicious lunch.  Tom came to celebrate his mother's day so he partook of the lunch Amanda made for HER mother.  Clever move!  Roger phoned and My friend from Tokyo sent a pretty e card.

I have been reading with interest the reports of the finding of the skeleton of Richard III, King of England from 1483 - 1485.  He was supposed to have murdered his young nephews in order to become king.  I had recently recommended Josephine Tey's books to my granddaughter.  Josephine Tey wrote a very absorbing novel about Richard III called  "A Daughter of Time".  In this book a fictional detective who is confined to a hospital bed becomes interested in the story of the king after seeing a picture of him.  He , the detective, is looking for something to do so he decides to investigate  to see if  he really is the villain as Shakespeare's pla
y portrays him.  By the end of the book I was completely convinced.  I wonder where they will bury the remains.  I think they should stay in Leicestershire where he fell in battle.
Incidentally, Colin Dexter, in one of his Morse stories, had Morse confined to a hospital bed and looking for something to do to pass the time.  Morse decides to in vestigate a crime from years ago where three men were hanged for a supposed murder.  Another absorbing story!
