On our latest weekly roundup, it's Catherine's turn to deal with an outage, as the water main near her home was shut down (by the same project that caused a gas leak a few weeks back). 

What we're watching: In episode 5 of Ripley, "Lucio," we caught up with the flash-forward that started the series off: Tom dragging a dead body down the stairs of an apartment building, very noisily and bloodily and under the watchful eye of a handsome cat

Then we jumped back 150 years to season 3 of Bridgerton, with episode 1 ("Out of the Shadows"). Here, the colors are bright and beautiful and no one is getting hit in the head with anything heavy—although, of course, there is plenty of subterfuge.

Catherine's library find this week is from the department of Crafts We'll Never Do. It's called Abstract Embroidery: Slow Stitching With Texture, Colour, and Creativity by Emily Botelho. We also took a detour into a non-library find from the same department of not-gonna-happen: Tooth Gem Style: Bedazzled Styles From Around the World.

In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed the kind of families we aren't (May 24, 2021), connecting with kids (May 20, 2019), and stuff we need to get rid of (May 23, 2017). 

Next week, we'll discuss the next episode of Ripley, called “Some Heavy Instrument,” and episode 2 of Bridgerton, season 3 ("How Bright the Moon"). Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
