Well, sometimes it just pours
The old car needs about a thousand dollars of work. That and the plane tickets pretty much deplete our savings for the immediate future. Bah.
Finished the two Agatha Christie novels from the library. The Pale Horse broke from her usual patterns, with a rather high-falutin' narrator and a very different plot structure. I liked it pretty well. I thought I'd read Sad Cypress before, but I didn't recognize anything about the contents. Enjoyed that for the most part, too; although familiarity with her work allowed me to guess out the solution pretty rapidly, there were lots of lovely little red herrings and I switched away a couple of times.
