Tales from the Barista’s steam wand…	Posted on April 12, 2013	by The very mobile mentor... After a week of serving coffee, tea and handmade cakes in our new business in Painswick, I’m already learning much more about myself!
Dexterity – I’ve got some!
Multi-task-ability – I can just about do it!
Dishwash hands – I get what Nanette Newman was talking about in the 70’s commercial!
I have feet – I can feel every part of them in great detail each night!
I love cake. Full-stop.
In addition to these world-changing discoveries, it’s apparent that I’ve regained some lost mojo, exacerbated by a period of grief and change that I could have taken more control of and handled better.
The swoosh of the steam wand, the tempting aroma of arabica and the interaction with a wide and interesting array of customers really does help with my personal mantra of “learning something new every day”. It’s also given my confidence a much needed jolt in a short period of time and has brought to life many of my tried and trusted self-coaching theories.
So enough about me as The Barista (for now anyway!). I’d love to hear your ‘tales behind the counter’ and feel free to send them to me. I’ll promise not to repeat any of them, unless you want me to bring them into a montage…
Have a great Friday and enjoy the weekend, wherever you are.

If you don't believe you have an obligation to society and your fellow citizens, then why should your fellow citizens and society maintain an obligation to you?
You shouldn't! You don't have any obligation to me. I'm not on any social welfare program and I'd commit suicide long before I ever stood in line to apply for any program that is funded at gunpoint.

Fitness tracking website | Grafisk Design | HTML | MySQL | PHP | Web Design
I am reposting this project due to the previous winner abandoning the project at 80% completion, with no reason why (sorry, still a little frustrated at the situation).
I'm looking to have a Joolma site built. It will be for fitness tracking, to allow myself and individuals to register/login, then upload what exercise they did for the day. From this information, the person will be able to produce a graph on their exercise to see how they are improving.
An example of the graphic output of the exercise can be viewed here: [url removed, login to view]
The graph will be the more time consuming item due to the coding involved but in saying that, it's not a major amount of coding. Upon bidding or DM me, if you could outline how you would handle this graph.
I can supply you with the full requirements and scamps upon winning. Due to past experience, I will be looking at a 25, 50, 75 and 95 percent completion updates throughout the project. Sorry about that requirement, but the previous winner has left me very cautious about these things.

change of scenery: Jen & Chad's place: the living room prep
Jen & Chad's place: the living room prep
Let the decorating begin! Like their living room, I am just so overwhelmed with this post that I don't even know where to start. So, to help organize, I've tried to organize all of the starting points based on type.
I guess we can start with the very beginning... the floorplan. Actually, the beginning would probably be a before picture but seriously, the place is filled with so much stuff right now it's not even worth it (no offense, Jen). So, back to the floorplan. The main challenge however is that this space actually includes three different functions: an entryway, a living room and a bar. However, a simple plan maximizing space and seating options was created that is pretty much the same as before Jen moved in. I mean, if it ain't broke don't fix right?
Next comes the big stuff that is staying in the space. Overall, the only additional expenses left that Jen would like to invest in are the fireplace, sliding glass door curtains and pillow coverings. Luckily, they have so much stuff with living on their own prior to the move-in, I don't see "stuff to work with" as being an issue. Here's the colletion so far - not to say we won't manipulate it in some way (mroe to come on that in a later post).
Ikea Kramfors dark brown leather couch
the adorable buffet we found at Legacies
glass top coffee table passed on to by a friend
working fireplace with concrete hearth
mounted TV and glued-to-the-wall large mirror
Jen, being the creative sole that she is, developed a pinterest section specifically for housing inspiration. This gave me a fantastic starting point for building the character around the space. Here's what I took away from flipping through her "home sweet home inspiration" board.
(the viginia house)
artwork above the couch,
taking advantage of the tall ceilings
(the house of smiths)
white or at least very light stone on fireplace,
but only half way up if that
(serenity in design)
pattern, visual interest on the fireplace wall
light and neutral, casual and comfy
(the marion housebook)
Now it's time to go through what's in the space right now (in Jen's case... two of everything). While living rooms are often the storage area for newly moved in spaces, you have to organize, relocate and remove items you simply do not plan to use here. For the pieces (mainly accessories) where you don't quite know if they will end up living in the space, gather them all together in one section and start making decisions from there. Like I said before, I don't think accessorizing the place will be an issue.
Lastly, we make the wonderful to-do list (what can I say, I like lists) along with a quick sketch of the different areas and how they could look. This way, flexibility is established on both ends - Jen can take charge and grab what she knows she needs (spray paint, primer, etc.), keep her eye out for what she'd like to have (pillow coverings, stencil) and have a guide for the color and style we're aiming for.
Check back tomorrow (or Friday) when I post the to-do and sketches!

Kate, don't forget that there must be space in the living room for guitar hero jam sessions.

Cruising Down the ICW 2019: March 2011
Hoolie's beach at Ft Matanzas
The forecast was for a front coming through later in the day with severe thunderstorms and high winds. With that we left in the morning in the hopes of making our 50 mile day to Ft Matanzas. The trip was uneventful until we approached the entrance to the Ft Matanzas anchorage. The first thing I noticed was a BOAT/US towboat racing by at full speed and when I looked ahead, I saw two sailboats that were hard aground by the entrance to the anchorage. They apparently had been heading north and didn’t pay adequate attention to the three green buoys marking the shoal. There are three in a row but the middle buoy is far to the west of the other two but you still have to pass it to the west! Evidently, they did not and ran hard into the shoal marked by the buoys. Since the towboat was pulling one of the boats towards the ICW fairway with all its might, I had to wait for the outcome, there was no room to pass. Finally the boat slowly slid into deeper water. As I passed by, the BOAT/US towboat yelled to me, “Follow that boat!” – which I thought was not necessarily the best course of action since he had just ran aground but since he was now convinced of the wisdom of passing the greens to starboard (going north), a strategy I agreed with, I followed. He crept forward at about 1 kt! He was evidently concerned about another encounter with mother earth. Finally he fully cleared the entrance to the anchorage and I did a 270 and came on into the anchorage (there is only once way in, not obvious, but we knew of it).
Hoolie wanted to play with the jellyfish!
Not more than an hour after dropping the anchor, the expected front came through with its ranging winds and rain. With gusts in the 30’s, we swung around but the holding is excellent here, no problems. We did manage to get Hoolie ashore just before the line storm hit and was surprised to see hoards of jellyfish all over the beach. They had been washed ashore by the winds I guess. Their presence put a kibosh on letting Hoolie run free since he would want to “play” with them (a new ball!) Ann had to get out and walk the dog.
After dinner we had to beat the backdoor front coming through so we took Hoolie to the opposite shore and found no jellyfish, great! Finally, we had a great sunset after all the storms cleared.
Rained solid all day long
The rain started at 5:00 am and we wondered whether we could get Hoolie ashore or not without getting wet. However, at 9:00 the rain subsided long enough to make a quick trip into shore. In a flash we were done and headed back to the boat. With the rain and the prediction of more rain during the day we considered staying at the anchorage but the location was not good. It’s okay in settled weather but not when there’s any wind blowing.
We hauled anchor and headed north and the rain caught up to us about an hour later. Showers are not a problem but a constant rain is not fun. Looking at the weather radar over the internet showed the rain continuing all day long at least. With that we cut short our intended 50 mile run and tucked into the Titusville City Marina to wait out the bad weather. As always, weather is king when you’re traveling on the water. We could have made the 50 miles with our radar, chartplotter and full enclosure (in shirt sleeves) but why do it? We’d much rather make the trip with sunny skies. We may be here tomorrow too, depends on the weather. Meanwhile, we’ll catch up on our reading.

Joe Acosta at the helm
The weather continues to be outstanding – sunny and 80 with no rain in sight. Today was just a day of just sitting in the cockpit and catching up on all the news of people we both knew. Lee and Joe are due to leave Wednesday morning so we went one more time to Riverside Café and once again the place was packed! It is obviously a very popular place in these parts. I strongly recommend the fish sandwich, it’s very well done.
This afternoon we noticed a school of fish swimming around in the marina. They weren’t the giant tarpons like we saw in Key West but rather a school of medium sized fish. The locals would know their name but I don’t, yet. They seem to be all over the place in the marina – but there’s no fishing allowed off the docks! Hoolie wanted to dive in and play with them but we convinced him to remain on the dock!
Hoolie's friends - can you identify the fish?

T dock at Vero Beach City Marina
We have an outside T dock at the City Marina which is the one that Marty recommended. It’s a concrete dock and very stable, easy to get on and off. We made good use of it today with the arrival of Joe and Lee Acosta, friends we hadn’t seen for 7 years, ever since they moved to Florida. They drove over from the Tampa area and we had a great reunion, another benefit from our Florida cruise – meeting people we would never otherwise see again.
Tonight we tried the restaurant under the bridge, a very busy place we later found out. Coming through the door, we headed for an empty table on the porch only to be told that it was reserved – I hadn’t know you had to reserve tables there. We settled for one closer to the door. Their seafood was very decent and we’re headed there again Tuesday night but even with one day’s notice, we still can’t get a table out on the deck – and that’s on a Tuesday! They said one opens up on Thursday. Oh well, the food is still worth going back again.

Jim, our mechanic at Hinckley - tight fit!
The aft engine oil seal was due in the morning and it arrived on time. Jim, our mechanic, brought it to the boat and over the next four hours, carefully installed the new seal. It’s still daunting to see your engine all apart (at least the aft part) but Jim reassembled it all by early afternoon. When it came time to test the engine by putting it in gear at the dock, we were sitting in mud and the propeller stirred up a lot mud out aft of the boat. I was afraid of revving the engine too much for fear of getting mud into the heat exchanger but the engine passed the test.
Timeless varnished wood
It was another glorious day so we admired more Hinckley boats in the area, mostly the one sailboat that obviously is a day sailer. There are no lifelines (they spoil the lines), no anchor (who anchors a boat like that?), and no visible lights (only a day sailer). Everything but the deck and hull is varnished wood – beautiful and I’m sure the owner does not do the teak himself! For someone like us, it’s pretty just to look at, never mind sailing it.
That's Fleetwing in the upper, left corner
On Sunday we’re off to Vero Beach at high tide, around 10:30 am.
The marina has a Tiki bar but with no bar - Joe and Ann relax in the shade
 Joe Mastri met us at 10:00 am so we could pay a visit to a Super Target for reprovisioning. I did not know that Target carried groceries but in Florida they have Super Targets that do. I suppose it’s in response to the competition from Wal-Mart. However, I don’t think they outdid Wal-Mart in price or selection.
The afternoon was spent in getting new boat shoes for Ann – things wear out even on a boat! Ann served rotisserie chicken at Joe’s apartment for a fine ending to the day. It sure helps that the days are getting longer. On Wednesday we’ll move north again to an anchorage just south of Stuart in preparation for another visit to the Hinckley marina there. Our oil leakage under the engine has returned. It appears to be the same as the leak repaired in Savannah last year by another Hinckley shop. If it’s the same, then the repair will be covered under Hinckley’s warranty program. I have a high level of interest in how they handle this issue. I'll post the outcome on the blog.

'Do You Write Under Your Own Name?': June 2012
Forgotten Book - The Missing Partners
I’ve mentioned several times my enthusiasm for Henry Wade, and my Forgotten Book for today is his second novel, The Missing Partners. A highly unusual feature of the book is its setting – in Merseyside, which Wade evidently knew quite well. And I was pleased to see a Liverpool solicitor forming part of a group of amateur sleuths who compete with the police to solve the problem!Tom Fairbanks is a young clerk working for the Inland Revenue whose girlfriend is the daughter of an accountant working in a small shipping company. The two brothers who run the company go missing at the same time, and it seems that one of them has killed the other.What follows is quite a complicated plot involving train times and smuggling, and the details are not especially entrancing to a modern reader. But there is a liveliness about the characterisation, as well as a pacy narrative, to keep one interested. And it is certainly worth persevering to the end, as Wade produces a clever and unexpected solution.Henry Wade would go on to write better books than this one, but already he was showing himself to be a distinctive talent. And what is particularly admirable about him is the sheer variety of his work. You never know quite what to expect. This range probably made it difficult for him to achieve fame in his lifetime. But it keeps his work fresh and interesting to this day.
The Missng Partners
The Last of Sheila is
a1973 whodunit film that has achieved cult status. It’s not currently available
on DVD in the UK, and I’d been searching for it for some time when, by chance,
I spotted it on a TCM schedule. And I found that, if not a masterpiece, it is
at least very watchable. And, unlike some films of its type, it improves as it
goes along, rather than the reverse, since the build-up is lengthy before the plot elaborations really kick in (though you might think otherwise if you are better at spotting in-jokes than me.)
The screenplay was
written by the very unlikely but rather wonderful pairing of Stephen Sondheim and Anthony
Perkins. Sondheim in particular is a mystery and puzzle fan, it seems, and has dabbled more
than once in the crime genre. On this evidence, it's a pity he hasn't devoted more time to mysteries. The cast is impressive, and includes James Coburn,
Ian McShane, James Mason, Dyan Cannon, Richard Benjamin and Raquel Welch. Mason is an actor I've long admired; in a rather different way from Raquel, he is always very watchable. Joan Hackett was the only suspect I wasn't familiar with; it seems she died sadly young of cancer. Here, she puts in a good performance in a rather tricky part. Coburn plays a movie
producer whose wife Sheila was killed in a hit and run accident. A year later,
he invites a group of friends – which includes, he is sure, Sheila’s killer –
to join him on a yacht called “Sheila” which is sailing around the
Mediterranean. He proposes a series of
games that will reveal his guests’ secrets – but events take an unexpected turn,
with a murder followed by a suicide.
After the apparent
climax of the movie, there are further twists, and I felt these compensated for
the slightly laboured start to the film. There are not many truly successful
whodunit movies, but I’d say this is one of them. I’m sure I missed many 70s
in-jokes in the script, but that didn’t really matter. Good fun. Posted by
S.S. Van Dine was an American Golden Age detective novelist whose elaborate mysteries featuring amateur sleuth and know-all Philo Vance were hugely successful for a few years. I’ve only read one of them so far, although I’d like to take a look at some of the others. Van Dine is, though, an acquired taste, and Ogden Nash wrote a derisive rhyme about Vance, who needed “a kick in the pance.”
Vance – played by William Powell- is the hero of The Kennel Murder Case, which is easily available on DVD, and I rather enjoyed watching it – a guilty pleasure, perhaps. The story starts, to my mind, unpromisingly, with a dog show (Vance’s dog isn’t successful) but we are introduced to Archer Coe, and soon learn that he is the sort of chap who is crying out to be murdered, given the number of people who have good reason to hate him.
Sure enough, Archer is found dead by his butler the following day – in a locked room! The hopeless police (and medic) at first leap to the conclusion that it is a case of suicide, but Vance – who has abandoned a trip to Europe to help out the authorities – soon demonstrates that this is a murder case. The plot thickens when Brisbane Coe, Archer’s brother, is also found dead.
The plot is satisfactorily convoluted, and although the characterisation is not exactly sophisticated, the story moves at a decent pace. Turning a Golden Age murder mystery into a good film is a real challenge – Hitchcock himself admitted defeat in the end, after a few unsatisfactory attempts. My own favourite remains Green for Danger, but The Kennel Murder Case is decent light entertainment and a pleasing period piece.

Forgotten Book - Mystery at Greycombe Farm
John Rhode was arguably the most prolific of the Golden Age detective novelists, and because he wrote so much, his work tends to be mixed in quality. But I must say that I really enjoyed his 1932 novel Mystery at Greycombe Farm, which shows his gift for plot construction at something close to its best.Greycombe is owned by a wealthy man universally known as Farmer Jim, who is a very successful cider maker. When a dramatic fire destroys his cider, a body is found among the debris. It belongs to a man named Sibley, who had gone missing some months earlier.The Chief Constable of Wessex is reluctant to call in Scotland Yard, but does not hesitate to seek the help of that tetchy and sometimes sarcastic old intellectual Dr Priestley. And needless to say, it is the good doctor’s deductions that help to unravel a complicated plot.There is a clever device regarding the estimation of time of death which helps to confuse the reader, as well as the police. Rhode was very good at this sort of thing – he was interested in the mechanics of committing murder, and my impression is that he was much more at ease writing about things rather than people. He, and Priestley, are much less interested in motive. I must say that my personal tastes are very different, and frankly if Rhode had been more interested in the character of his murderer, he might have tried to explain why someone who commits a very clever crime then gives himself away so foolishly. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying a book that was some notches above some of the other Rhodes that I’ve read.
CADS 63
CADS 63, edited by the tireless
Geoff Bradley, has just been published, and once again it’s packed with
interesting and often esoteric information about crime fiction past and
present, but predominantly past. I can’t remember a single issue – and I’ve
read them all – when I haven’t been introduced to a book or author that I’ve
enjoyed, yet otherwise might not have bothered with. The joy of CADS is that
you have so many encounters with the unexpected.
These include – for instance
– two assessments by John Cooper of a selection of books by writers who are
today under-rated, Francis Beeding and Clifford Witting; this highlighted a
number of books I’m keen to seek out. Tony Medawar contributes a nice little
article about Jacques Futrelle, who died on the Titanic, and there are good
pieces by a range of the usual suspects, including Bob Adey, Barry Pike and Liz
Gilbey.
Curt Evans’ latest
piece of mystery scholarship, an attempt to puzzle out which of the ‘joint’
books by G.D.H. Cole and his wife Margaret were written as solo efforts by one
or other them inevitably depends on a mixture of logical deduction and
guesswork, but the arguments are well
presented, and may be as close as we come to finding out the truth about this
slightly odd collaboration. I'm looking forward eagerly to reading Curt's new book about three relatively neglected Golden Age mysteries - more about this in due course.
On a personal note, I
was grateful for Chris Simpson’s review of Waterloo Sunset, and also to Geoff
and to Bob Cornwell, for including me in their long running feature, the CADS
Questionnaire. By their kind permission, the Questionnaire will also appear on
the ‘interviews’ page of my website. But really, if you’re keen on the genre
and its history, there is no substitute for buying the magazine. An absolute
bargain, unreservedly recommended. Posted by

Judging Short Story Competitions
Judging short story
competitions is both a privilege and a responsibility. Over the past twenty
years or so, I’ve entered a few competitions, but I’ve judged rather more. This
year alone, I’ve been asked to adjudicate in four competitions. Three are
organised by writers’ group, but one was a bit different. It was organised by
Helen Rowlands, a member of the staff of the Health & Safety Executive in
Bootle, and it was for a very worthy cause, more of which below.
The key point to
remember when judging stories is, I think, that ultimately one is making a
purely subjective judgment. Determining which story is “the best” is always
going to involve a personal assessment, and one’s own preferences come into
play. It follows from this that, if someone enters a competition and fails to
win, it does not mean their story isn’t any good. I once entered a ‘first
chapter’ competition with a submission called “Midnight’. It was judged by a
very capable professional novelist, and didn’t win. But eventually – in much
altered form – it became the first chapter of my first published novel, which
recently resurfaced as a “Crime Classic” thanks to Arcturus. So winning a
competition isn’t the be-all and end-all. A key merit of competitions is that
they can motivate people to write – a worthy objective in itself. There is a
limit to the number of competitions one can judge (because of the time reading
all the entries, and thinking about them takes) but , if time permits, I think it’s
a task worth doing when the opportunity arises. The Eye Fund, by the
way, is a charity founded by Helen’s family, following the death of her
brother, who suffered very serious sight problems. The Fund aims to provide
much needed counselling and aid to those who are losing their sight due to
degenerative diseases, such as retinal cone dystrophy, cataracts, age-related degeneration
and other eye conditions. A famous family member has given the Fund a good deal
of help – and he is none other than Sir Paul McCartney.
Judging short story competitions,
Forgotten Book - Hue and Cry
Here’s a question for you. Which Golden Age crime novel begins at a football match in a working class town, and features a footballer as its protagonist? Not a book by Sayers, Christie or Dickson Carr, you can bet your bottom dollar! The answer is a book that I found a very enjoyable and breezy read when a kind friend lent it to me recently. Bruce Hamilton, brother of the more celebrated Patrick, is an author who has long interested me, and I’m delighted to feature his debut novel as today’s Forgotten Book. This is Hue and Cry, originally published by the Crime Club in 1931, and the footballer is young Tom Payton, who kills one of his club’s directors in a drunken rage, and then goes on the run.There’s no mystery at all about whodunit – the real question is whether Tom will get away with it. He flees to London, where he gets mixed up with a prostitute, and then with a kindly Jewess who offers him sexual comfort as well as board and lodging. Tom is definitely not a Peter Wimsey type, and Hamilton’s radical politics are in evidence at key moments of this book.Hamilton keeps up the pace from start to finish, and as he piles the pressure on Tom, the reader finds it almost impossible (well, this reader did) not to hope that he will escape the consequences of his crime. There are some nice touches of satire in the book, too, and overall, it is a real pity that Hamilton’s policy of avoiding formula in his writing meant that his career as a crime novelist never had the success that I, at least, think he deserved. His work does have flaws, but it is genuinely interesting.
Telstar: The Joe Meek
Story is a film about a murder – or, rather, the events leading up to it. Same
concept as Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero, I suppose, though it would be hard
to imagine two more different stories. And one reason for this is that the Joe
Meek story is taken from real life. It’s a story that I’ve always found macabre,
poignant and extraordinary.
Meek was a record
producer with a very distinctive style who was responsible for the first
records I ever liked – Telstar and Globetrotter, the chart-topping instrumentals
recorded by The Tornados just before the Beatles came on the scene in a big
way. He had many successes, and his cover version of the Bacharach-Hilliard classic
Please Stay, performed by Duffy, plays as the final credits of the movie roll. He
was a deeply troubled man, and of course therein lies the fascination of his
story, probably the most remarkable of Sixties pop music.
A good many years ago,
a TV documentary based on John Repsch’s excellent book The Legendary Joe Meek made a huge impact on me, and influenced
my approach in writing a Harry Devlin novel about the 60s pop scene, Yesterday’s
Papers (which remains a personal favourite.) The stranger-than-fiction story of
Meek’s life and death makes it perfect material for a movie.
And yet. I must confess
that, although Telstar has received some good reviews elsewhere, I was
disappointed with it. The comic book tone of most of the screenplay contrasted
weirdly with the tragic later scenes, and I’m afraid I didn’t think
the transition was well handled. Similarly, I found Con O’Neill’s portrayal
of Meek, though energetic, to be a bit random and unconvincing. And as for the great Kevin Spacey, bizarrely miscast as Meek's business partner, don't get me started. So, a film that
I regard as a missed opportunity – but an utterly fascinating story. If you don’t
know it, read Repsch’s book, which is packed with intriguing period detail.

The Tornados,
The Cadaver Game, the
latest Wesley Peterson murder mystery from Kate Ellis, is the 15th in a series that continues to go from strength to strength. When you bear in
mind that she has also written three books featuring Joe Plantagenet, and one
stand-alone history-mystery, as well as many short stories, it’s fair to say
that Kate’s become extremely prolific. Certainly, her productivity in recent
years puts me to shame. There’s always a danger that, when you write a great
deal at speed, quality will suffer – but I’m pleased to say that there is
absolutely no sign of this in The Cadaver Game. I was sure I’d enjoy it, as Kate
is not only a friend but a writer whose way with a plot I’ve long admired, but
I was especially entertained by some of the concepts in this particular story.
In broad terms, the
story is structured in the same way as its predecessors. A crime from the past,
with an archaeological connection, is linked with a murder puzzle in the
present. Upon that solid structure, Kate has built a complicated and absorbing
puzzle, with many interesting features and a plentiful supply of twists and red
herrings. The central idea is of
a hunt with a difference – the hunted are real life people, running naked from
their pursuers. It happened in the past, and now it is happening in the
present. A young couple are shot to death by an unknown hunter at the start of
the book, but the question of what happened to them is not the only mystery
that Wesley has to solve. A woman’s body is found, and there is some mystery
about her identity. Meanwhile, extracts from two old journals reveal the
macabre machinations of a rich man’s jester at around the time of Waterloo.
A large cast of
characters is manipulated with unobtrusive expertise – no easy task. I thought
the concept of the game, in both the past and the present, was utterly
gripping, and certainly very dark. Equally, I was fascinated by the story of
Silly John, the jester. And finally, I have to admit, I couldn’t figure out the
murderer. My only complaint is that I too had the idea of a book title
including the word “cadaver” (at one point The Serpent Pool was going to be
called The Cadaver Tarn, but then I decided to save the latter title for a
rainy day – that day may be a few years off now!) Great minds, I guess! Suffice to say, this book is definitely recommended for whodunit fans.
Forgotten Book - The Case with Nine Solutions
One of J.J. Connington’s most popular novels, which became a green Penguin edition after his death, is my Forgotten Book for today, The Case with Nine Solutions. It was first published in 1928 (not 1926, as my Penguin edition states) and featured Sir Clinton Driffield, as well as four murders. Connington, whose real name was A.W. Stewart, was a professor of chemistry, and this is a book which draws heavily on his scientific expertise. When I first read it, more than twenty years ago, I found it slightly disappointing, but on a re-reading I understood more clearly what Connington was trying to do. Despite the title, he was not offering a story with a raft of alternative solutions, in the way Anthony Berkeley did. Rather, he was offering a complicated and fairly clued puzzle that focused on the means of committing murder more than on human motivation.The story begins pretty well, as a locum doctor who is called out to a case of scarlet fever one foggy night turns up at the wrong house and discovers a young man in his death throes. There is a dying message, the first of a long line of clues, including coded messages and various bits of scientific information – Driffield even lectures a colleague on the meaning of “mixed melting-points”, in the finest tradition of the know-all sleuth.The catalyst for the crimes is a dark and sexually motivated scheme which, in keeping with the time of publication, is not described explicitly. There are also echoes of the Crippen case and, obliquely, Connington suggests the nature of a mistake that Crippen may well have made. The finale is literally explosive. All in all, an interesting book, well worth looking out.
A New Book - and a street party
I'm delighted to say that the UK paperback edition of The Hanging Wood has just come out, published by Allison & Busby. The hardback earned gratifying reviews, and although it was written in rather testing circumstances, it turned out - contrary to my expectation at one time, I must admit - to be a book that moved the Lake District series on in a way that new and regular readers, as well as reviewers, have been kind enough to approve.
In celebration of a rather more widely acclaimed achievement, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, yesterday I attended a street party for the very first time in my life. It was held in the long and pleasant, tree-lined road which adjoins the cul-de-sac where I live. Nearly 300 people attended, and we invited along Kate Ellis and her husband Roger to add a bit of crime writerly macabre to the festivities.
In my younger days, I wouldn't really have fancied the idea of a street party, but - perhaps I've mellowed with the years - I really looked forward to this one, and it was quite brilliantly organised by a neighbour, Peter Cotton and his team. They even managed to keep the rain at bay until the celebrations were nearly at an end. A memorable day.
Which leads me to the question I put to Kate: has there ever been a murder mystery set at a street party? If you know of any, do let me know.If not, perhaps one day I'll write one...
A week ago today I had
the great pleasure of travelling from Bristol, venue for Crimefest, with a
touring party on the Agatha Christie trail. It was a special treat for me,
partly because Christie introduced me to crime fiction when I was young, and
partly because I spent the trip in the company of John Curran, without a doubt
the world’s leading expert on the Queen of Crime.
First stop was the
Grand Hotel in Torquay – which I last stayed in during the Christie centenary
celebrations in 1990, at a time when my wife was pregnant with Jonathan. I remember
more than a few drinks in the company of Reginald Hill, and the excitement of
the Gala Dinner on the Saturday evening, attended by the cast of Poirot and
After that, there was a
quick visit to the Christie exhibition at Torquay Museum, where one of the
famous “secret notebooks” is on display. Then, to Churston (featured in The ABC
Murders) and the church with the Christie window. Lunch was at a quite
beautiful old pub adjacent to the church.
Then it was on to
Greenway, Christie’s old home, now in the care of the National Trust. I visited
it with a CWA party back in 1990 and met her daughter, but this time John’s
informed commentary made the visit even more meaningful. We also had time to go
into the grounds and visit the battery and the boathouse. The boathouse was
employed as a murder scene in Dead Man’s Folly, while the battery was utilised
for the killing of Amyas Crale in Five Little Pigs. Suffice to say that, for a devotee
of classic detective fiction, it was an absolutely memorable day. And by the way, you will see that Blogger has finally allowed me to upload some pictures. But very reluctantly, it has to be said! And I still haven't figured out why the font of my posts keeps changing. No wonder I'm so gripped by technofear that I haven't tried to be more adventurous with social media!
Dead Man's Folly,
Reginald Hill's Short Stories
Those two notable bloggers, Margot Kinberg and Rhian Davies, have combined to create a wonderful tribute to the late Reginald Hill, and when they kindly invited me to take part, of course I was glad to accept. I wanted to say a little about Reg's wonderful work with short stories. They earned him two CWA Daggers, but even so, his short stories are still sometimes unaccountably overlooked. Give them a go - you will be glad you did!
Forgotten Book - The Reader is Warned
The Reader is Warned, by John Dickson Carr writing under his alias Carter Dickson, is my Forgotten Book for today. First published in 1939, it features Sir Henry Merrivale, a formidable sleuth whom some prefer to Carr’s other great detective, Dr Gideon Fell. There is more humour in the Merrivale stories than in those about Fell, and to some extent one’s reaction as a reader depends on how appealing one finds that humour.The premise of this story is fascinating. A mysterious chap called Herman Pennik turns up at a country house party hosted by a writer and her husband. He claims that he can influence events by “thought waves” and is provoked into predicting the death of the host before dinner. When Sam Constable duly dies, and without a sign of violence upon him, it seems to some that he may have been killed by the power of the mind alone.The average mystery reader will be reluctant to accept this conclusion, of course. But what exactly is the murder method, if not “Teleforce”? When the deceased’s wife dies mysteriously, again after a prediction by Pennik that she will die, there is a tabloid sensation. Pennik becomes a media celebrity; these passages are the wittiest in the book.The revelation of what was really going on left me in two minds. I admired Carr’s ingenuity, but felt that the motivation was rather slender, and not entirely convincing. The problem was that there are too few suspects other than Pennik, and to an extent the story seems like an expanded novella in comparison with some of Carr’s other work. All the same, I enjoyed this book, and I think that others who like outlandish plots in the Carr tradition will enjoy it too.

just enough for the city: The cheese never stands alone
On the steps this morning:
JIm and Holly are the first to arrive. They’ve brought a big banner. Ultimately, it should hang from the scaffolding outside. But this morning, It will stretch across the front of the sanctuary. It’s big, it’s bright, it’s multitcolored. Celebrate the journey, it says. It’s a gift from the Stony Point Conference Center, where my friend Rick is the Director. (See December 19) It was inspired Thursday afternoon at my apartment gathering for neighborhood clergy friends. My parish priest, Father Duffel, said that we needed a tent. Something to cut down the emptiness of the sanctuary. Bring it closer. Something new. Something to attract the press. It isn’t a tent. But it is a banner.
Two visitors today. Cece, longtime friend of Holly. And Jim, the hospitality professional with the amazing smile back for a second Sunday. And Rachel is back! This is her first Sunday back since that day in August when Amanda and I, at the end of a run, found her in Central Park. She’d fallen walking her dogs.Tangled up in the leash. A young man had picked her up, placed her on a bench, called 911. As she was placed on the gurney and wheeled to the ambulance, she looked up and said, “I’m afraid I won’t be in church tomorrow.” She’d broken her hip. And this feisty octogenarian retired nurse has fought her way back. Her presence fills us with hope.
My sermon begins by remembering what a big day yesterday was. Some of us went to the rally in City Hall Park, in solidarity with Wisconsin, with labor. I tell them that my favorite sign of the day was carried by a group wearing cheeseheads. Their sign read the cheese never stands alone. I’d have taken a picture if I hadn’t been in the middle of the street. It’s all about solidarity, here, there, around the world. Something is happening. And then much of the crowd marched over to Foley Square to join the Planned Parenthood , women’s choice rally. And somewhere in Chinatown the Chinese Staff and Workers Association, the Saigon Grill workers union, was celebrating the Lunar New Year.
And it was a good day for those fighting for the full inclusion of people from the lgbt community at every level of church leadership. In the voting, presbytery by presbytery, four yesterday continued their support. Five continued in opposition. And three moved from opposition to support. Indian Nations (Oklahoma,) Central Nebraska and Sacramento, California. For the first time the double digit lead in voting has grown to fifteen. Of the nine switches necessary for victory, the count has already reached eleven.
We agreed to pray for those voting next week: North Central Iowa, West Virginia and Yellowstone. Then on Friday, Mission,(Texas.) Saturday, Grace,(Texas again) then Northern New England and Ohio Valley. The struggle that was begun at West-Park back in 1978 (see that rainbow banner up there?) may finally come to victory.
This leads me, however indirectly, to Isaiah. He says to an exiled people, says to the prisoners, “come out, show yourselves....” The people are stuck in Babylon. They have been deprived of hope. They have to imagine the unimaginable. Like in the Middle East, Who, who even three months ago, who could have imagined Egypt?
It is nothing less than the end of fear. As one older Egyptian said, “once we stopped being afraid, they could no longer hurt us.”There is no more hiding. Once people are not afraid, anything can happen. This passage, (Isaiah 41: 8-16,) is filled with typical Isaiah themes. Themes of roads, highways, the journey. We are always on the road. En el camino as my friends say.
My son Daniel yesterday wanted to know why we would watch the movie 127 Hours when we already knew the ending. The ending was not the point, I told him. It’s how you get there. Like the revolution in Egypt. And our own journey. It’s how you get there.
Fear not is a major theme of Matthew from the angel and his pronouncements on. And here (Matthew 6:24-34) Jesus is preaching against fear. And yes, we’re still in the sermon on the mount. What took Jesus maybe a morning to preach is taking us weeks to get through. It’s how you get there. Jesus wants to to free us from worry, free us from fear.
And then there it is, ” You cannot serve God and wealth....” I’d love to see that engraved somewhere indelible. Like in the front of a Presbytery meeting. But how do we not worry? Especially now that we are in that lilies and birds place...
Worry is its own reward.It accomplishes nothing. It is substitute for action. It wears you out, makes you think you’re doing something, but you’re not. But how do we not worry?
How? Jesus says,But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Really? Has anyone ever experienced that? My dad used to say, follow your heart. The money will take care of itself. Not necessarily so. But its about the journey again. The how you get there. Building a community that is immediately recognizable as a place where people are truly caring for one another. Where the cheese never stands alone.
And as my kids say, word...
I can’t talk about this without remembering Bobby Mc Ferrin and his song, Don’t worry, be happy. In light of everything, really?
Did you realize that this was the theme song of the 1988 George Bush Presidential campaign? Fitting somehow. Until Bobby McFerrin said NO. Nobody asked me.
I’ll always remember a mission retreat we held back in Pittsburgh. It was being facilitated by a member of that definitive social witness in Washington, the Church of the Savior, an intentional Christian community. The retreat leader, a round little guy in sandals, insisted upon playing this song every break. It was driving me way crazy, making me me nervous. Finally, my good friend John said, let’s head for the bar. It took a long time for me to discover what an amazing and creative artist Bobby Mc Ferrin really is.
What yesterday was about, the rallies was bad decisions, stupid decisions. Now those who are responsible want to remove even those last vestiges of protection and regulation. Without them the chasm between rich and poor would grow even deeper and the middle class completely vanish. In that context, we have to ask, what would it mean to really follow Jesus? Where money is not first but where we watch out and care for one another? Jesus seems to say, no he does say, that if we do that the rest will follow....
As we stood in our circle of blessing following the service, I asked what favorites people had for the Oscars that night. Of course, the King’s Speech had lots of supporters. I mentioned my own appreciation of Winter’s Bone, the grim but heroic story of courage and determination in the midst of Ozarks meth country. One of us shook her head, laughed and said, well, that’s my family.
I see P_____ walk up and kneel before the Christ candle again,placing her hands on it, fervent in prayer. Her case is dragging on. Pressures growing and with them her inner sense of what’s going on in her apartment. I place my hands on her head. Give her a special prayer for protection, for peace.
Ana’s cafe con leche again. In this cold, it’s almost sacramental.

Bob Breck's Blog: Oh Woe is He...
Oh Woe is He...
Dr. Jeff Masters is a big Global Warming/Climate Change Alarmist. His Weather Underground is featured on The Weather Channel so he gets plenty of press when they want him to get it…translation…when it fits their agenda. Today he was talking about the quietest hurricane season since 1986. Wow…to me that’s big news yet what do the networks cover? A bogus story about the decreasing seal population. Give Dr. Forbes credit for pointing out the tornado numbers are again way down this year…but wait a minute. Didn’t they say we’d see more storms, most intense storms yada, yada in a warming climate? Perhaps the CYCLE of climate has entered a cooling phase? Nah, even the 3rd brutal winter in a row won’t change the faithful. Somehow that will be part of the weather extremes. I only mention all this because hardly a day goes by without something being said regarding climate change. The PR firms are cranking out the propaganda without allowing any dissent. Kinda like what China does. Hummm.
Alright, now that I vented, I feel great about our coming weekend. This will be the coolest air in nearly 6 months. It will bring out the sweaters & jackets at night, but the days will just feel comfy. Best chances for rain appear to be 6-9 AM Friday with the front sweeping thru before noon. Enjoy you weekend.

My Creative Escapes - photography, crafting, DIY and more: Dog's like pictures too
So - you have seen by now that I am a bit obsessive with pictures. Well - for my husbands birthday we went out on a doggie playdate - with our Golden "puppy" and 4 of his brothers.
And so the trip begins - 5 of the brothers.
Boys will be boys - they sure love the water.
Yeah - they are only 11 months old - big boys!
Trying to get 5 puppies together in one frame - very difficult - almost got it.
A dog and his sticks!
Getting closer with all 5....not bad.
I love seeing pictures like this - makes me smile!
Love this perspective - a brother watching his other brothers....one of my favorites.
Sorry for so many pictures - but - I had a hard time narrowing it down from the 1400 I took that day...and nope - that isn't exaggerating!

Sarah Vaughn October 19, 2011 at 12:34 AM
These are wonderful! You got some beautiful photos and what a happy sight! It looks like EVERYBODY had a great time!
Mel October 19, 2011 at 10:19 AM
I love, love, LOVE these shots! My 2 yr old lab/golden mix came from a litter of 13 pups...we had a reunion for their 1st birthday and it was hilarious to see all of them together again (well, there was 7 of the siblings).

los cater(s): October 2012
We had a little party here on Edie's birthday with a few neighborhood families. It was really simple, but all the kids seemed to have fun! Edie was so different than I remember Vera being. Vera has always been very... exuberant and lively and so excited about her birthday. Edie seemed to get more inward and embarrassed every time you said happy birthday to her! She didn't seem into the party at all until my mom showed up with the cupcakes - she then sat at the table and looked at them until it was time to sing and eat :) Afterwards, I think the chocolate got to her and she opened up a bit and played. I imagine much of it has to do with the fact that most kids she hangs out with now are older than her.
Anyway... here are some pictures from her little party:
my mom made the cupcakes - they were, of course, delicious!!!
chocolate-frosting buzz
I made these felt penne, tomatoes, spinach and cheese for Edie and am a little proud of myself :) Only $2.80 and it was so easy! Vera made her several adorable cards and a paper iphone ♥
playing in the girls' room
a delicious and fun birthday lunch with Tia at Finca - it is fun to share a birthday [almost] with my little girl! Edie is opening her first very own laptop [my 'peeta!]

This 2 year old:
... is in a bit of a shy phase with other people. It makes me sad they don't get to hear her true jabbering, energetic, silly little self! They ask her a question and she just stares or says the answer super quiet to me.
... had one more well-visit with Dr. Katie. It was pretty funny - she wouldn't budge and answer a single question. Dr. Katie did elicit one awesome giggle "looking" for her hands and then tickling under her arm :) She weighed 23 lbs (12%) and was 32.75" (22%).
... loves "la playa" book - a bilingual story about going to the beach. We read it every day and I try to switch to the Spanish often :) She also loves Dogger [please get this at a library if you haven't read it!], Are you my Mother, Panda Bear Panda Bear [I hear her reciting this one to herself], If you Give a Pig a Pancake, Little Mommy....
... loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Super Why and whatever Vera watches, though thankfully she doesn't have a long attention span yet. She'll ask: Gickey Mouse o(n)? Check? Doc 'Suffins o(n)? Check??
... does not have [[yet]] the huge hysterical tantrums Vera used to have. She does sometimes SCREAM at the top of her lungs and will pull hair, hit, bite scratch if she doesn't get her way. She does seem a little horrified afterwards and gives a sincere sorry and kisses.
... sings her ABCs about 50% correctly and counts about the same - a lot of it is just mimicking her sister : )
... wants me to sing Cristo Me Ama and You are my Sunshine at nap/bedtimes.
... is a stubborn little eater. If she loves it, she eats a lot. If she doesn't want it, she pushes it away and says you eat it! She loves macaroni and cheese or any pasta dish, pancakes, eggs and ketchup, anything dipped in ranch, apples, choc iclee (chocolate ice cream), shablablas (strawberries), lummy logurt (yummy yogurt), booties (pirates booty)...

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet, cuddly, spunky, feisty, stubborn, silly, adorable little stinker of a 2 year old :) Eden Violet Siu-Lan Cater, we love you SO MUCH and are so happy you are in our family!!!!
[this is from a couple weeks ago, but is one of my favorite pictures!!
btw Melissa (aka Uncle Matty-lisa) designed her little Lucky Brand sweater!]

This morning was quite a treat and I wanted to record it. Vera has [[thankfully!]] been going to bed a lot earlier, and so waking up around the same time as Edie. This morning she got Edie out of her bed by herself, got her some milk in her blue tup [Edie's special blue sippy], got herself some cheerios and basically just took care of her little sister for about an hour while Ben and I slept in!! I could hear her reading Pinkalicious and other books, talking so sweetly and just being an awesome, amazing, responsible big sister. I only heard one scream out of Edie - I think Vera wasn't letting her have glee booties [veggie booty] for breakfast. It was so cute! Vera was so proud :)
They get to watch two shows this morning for being so good:

We have a vacant lot out behind our house and the girls went out to explore it for the first time yesterday. It made me beyond happy to see them traipsing out with their baskets, ready to explore and collect "berries" or whatever else they could find under the cottonwoods. I told Vera how I used to play in a lot with my best friend, pretending we were the Ingalls family - bears and panthers out to get us :) I am so happy my kids get this kind of small town childhood, at least for now!

Hawaiian Day at school - Vera was in the top 5% for school spirit. When we get to school, we always walk through an area where older kids are in line for their lunch. Vera always looks a little self-conscious and proud walking through - especially if she has her bike or today, her grass skirt. It's cute.
a few classmates. yes this girl second from the right is the tallest in her class!!
they both love to walk along this bench... still so crazy to me that Vera goes to Fritsch!
I didn't go there by the way, I went to St. Theresa's - we drove by the other day, such nostalgia! It's not yellow and brown anymore, for those of you who didn't know. and there's a fence blocking you from entering the playground! I remember going back with my friend, Marie, years later - incapable of believing how small everything was and how filled with memories! Anyway, that was a tangent...

[sorry this may be boring.... just documenting lo cotidiano :)]
I feel fairly settled here now that we have a decent daily routine. At first I was upset that Vera was put in afternoon kindergarten [when they had told me she was in am]- I had dreams of going for long walks with the jogger in the mornings, but it has worked out pretty well.
We have slow easy mornings - Edie gets up usually around 6:30-7:00 and she follows me around as I put the dishes away, get my mate and have a little devotion. She is so cute and chatty in the mornings: clea(n) up? ok!! you's mate? oh yeah! dat hot? oh yeah!! I usually wake up Vera around 8:00. A couple weeks ago I was getting so annoyed with her first sentence always being Can I watch something? So I made the simple rule that she isn't allowed to ask that right away and I'll let her know when she can. It worked! So much happier all around. I do let her watch usually one, sometimes two shows. Her current favorite is Octonauts, which is actually pretty cute!! We love the "dance break" :)
The rest of the morning is spent playing with Eloise, playing in their kitchen, coloring, reading [Edie especially likes Vera to read her Pinkalicious], running after each other, etc. We don't do many errands [not much to do and no money to spend anyway :)], and they are often content enough to not even need an outing to a park [ok I just re-read this - they are content most of the time. still our fair share of bickering/screaming/pulling hair/time-outs/spankings, etc. :)]. We walk Vera to school at noon and then come back directly for Edie to take her nap. I immediately make mate again and try to have some quality alone time. She wakes up and plays a bit and then it's time to get Vera.
We met a little girl who is in first grade next door to Vera's classroom. Her family just moved here also and has Utah, San Diego and Seattle connections as well as a lot of the same interests. Vera and Greta get along really really well which is awesome! We usually walk home with them as they go our same way. Sometimes they play at each other's houses - I'm so glad she has made a good friend - she really misses her friends :( Vera and Edie have been playing a lot more too which is really wonderful - Vera rarely even asks to watch TV in the afternoon anymore and hasn't played on the computer at all. We also have another neighbor, Ariana, who comes over a lot. She is ten and kind of likes to be the mother :) Her little sister (3) comes over too sometimes and they all have fun. Neighborhood friends are the best! It really reminds me of our friends from our childhood - the Bardwells :)
That's pretty much our routine! Ben gets home from the office [where he works some for my dad and also pursuing other jobs, working on dissertation revisions etc.] and we either make dinner here or go to my parents or up to the Lake. We have only gone out to eat twice, for lunch. Besides the no money thing, there is no Cafe Rio, Barbacoa, Chanon Thai, etc.!
It's kind of lonely, but not necessarily in a bad way.... like I don't really have much conversation with anyone besides my mom, but it's ok with me. I feel like this time in our lives is maybe for us to just focus on our family. For me to really take good care of my girls, to make this emotionally difficult time a little easier for Ben, to spend quality time with my parents, have a good and simple routine. I was cleaning the other day and heard the lyrics of some song in the other room: "simple as it should be" - it was a good thing to hear at the time as I was wondering what is the point of moving here.
ANYway. here's some pictures...
this is the massive tv my dad bought with the house and ben won't let me remove:
there's a mailbox on our way to school... we've sent out a lot of letters and have not received many in return! yes I am talking to you! and you and you! :)

I've never really experienced Lake Tahoe in the Fall, but I am finding out just how lovely it is! It is perfectly pleasant, quiet, uncrowded, wonderful. We have been up at my parents' house almost every weekend and just love it. We jokingly call this time in our lives The Great Depression [happens Ben is also reading a huge book on the topic, besides the fact that he worked 8 years only to finish during a literal Great Recession], and then equally joke that having a lake retreat at our disposal doesn't really fit in the picture of despair :)
This may have been the last warm weekend - though I guess in the Fall, you assume every weekend is the last! Anyway, it was so nice up there - I felt all warm and fuzzy and happy inside: reading my book, having a beer with Ben, watching the girls play, spending time with my parents, finding pretty rocks...
I never tire of this scene - I'm sure I have at least a couple dozen photos of it:
not an exciting video, just capturing the peaceful mood. I do love how I was able to document how Edie answers every question with "I dunno!" and then the answer- in this case, Lake Tahoe:
