Its Saxon-English vs Danish Vikings in the time of Alfred the Great. Lord Uhtred is a Saxon raised by Danes, who is sworn to Alfred. Interesting characters and plenty of action in these page-turners by Mr. Cornwell.

Haven't been online much because I'm recovering from cancer surgery, but I have more time to read. Also, it is -11 wind chill outside, and not much to do outside.

Hermetic - We put a heated double bowl for water and food in the new barn for the three transplanted cats. It is working well, keeping their water from freezing. It only uses 25 watts of power when on. Now, we can go the rest of the winter with the peace of mind knowing they have drinking water 24/7.
