12-26 Slow Day

Overcast Day
This morning we woke up to an overcast day. In the afternoon the wind came up and then the rain came. I finished reading Greg Iles, The Quiet Game. I enjoyed the novel, it was about the main character Penn Cage going back to his childhood home in Natchez Mississippi. He is a Houston prosecutor who turned into a novelist. Greg Iles keeps your interest by putting different twists and turns in the story.  After finishing reading the novel I decided to do another jig saw puzzle called The World Of Dogs by Eurographics. It has a lot of different dogs so I thinks it's going to be challenging.

Larry has some electronic/computer gadgets he doesn't use any more so he decided to get them ready to go on Ebay. Sometimes it is not really worth the effort, it takes a lot of time to take and upload pictures of the items and then you have to write a description of each one. Once you list an item if it sells you have to package and mail it. A couple of the items might not sell or only sell for ten bucks. According to Ebay Larry has been a member since 1997 and sold a total of 70 items since 2002 for about $3000, some years he sells nothing. However, it is great to get things out of the house and it is sure better than throwing it away. Actually we donate lots of stuff like this to Goodwill.

Larry received an email from Google Play that said he could rent a movie from them at 75% off the rental price. So this evening we watched Mr. Holmes, it was a good movie but a little slow moving. It was about Sherlock Holmes in his very late years. Then we streamed a short movie off Amazon called Wednesday Morning Club, it was about a young waitress who serves three elderly gentlemen at a small cafe, wasn't very good but it was free.
