Surprisingly good historical fiction about a Roman doctor in occupied England circa 100AD. Primarily a murder mystery, it kept me turning the pages. Will look for a new library book early this week.

Our lousy township is tearing down the barn(s) where our barn cats reside. We are trying desparately to catch them and relocate them. The township gave us a couple days notice. This is the good karma reward we got for taking care of the stray mom cat and her kittens in July.
