Marathon, Not a Sprint

Hello on this beautiful Autumn and spicy chicken burger Monday!

We've had the loveliest weather here for the past few days - clear, sunny, warm (but not too much).  With the exception of one day it looks to be nice right until the weekend!

I finally started the new Stephen West MKAL, Twists&Turns, and evidently the below gets repeated several times in Clue 1 so this one is definitely going to be a marathon, not a sprint:

Of course I'm still working to finish last year's MKAL, so I suppose as long as I have this mostly finished within the year I'm right on track for myself!!

I also finished the knitting on Mountain Musings, so will have pics to share when I get around to blocking it.  I cast on for a pair of felted slippers as a holiday gift, and need to get my stuff together to cast on for a hat.

Stay safe and well - and be sure to get your flu shot and any COVID boosters you're due for :)  Mine are both scheduled for this coming Saturday!

From the author’s web site : "As usual, I am interested in the people, their interactions and the social effects that poisons have had, as well as the science. There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
