As my Whimsy takes me

which is the motto of Lord Peter Wimsey's family. And this is a quote I love from Lord Peter's creator, Dorothy L. Sayers -

"Nothing goes so well with a hot fire and buttered crumpets as a wet day without and a good dose of comfortable horrors within."

I doubt I'll have the hot fire and buttered crumpets, but it is a wet(ish) day and I have not one, but two comfortable mysteries to keep me occupied while waiting on my husband's knee replacement surgery. I'll also have a pad of paper and pen so I can work on crafting comfortable horrors for my own mystery novel. And maybe a few chocolates to keep my energy level up. Alas, no crumpets.

Better chocolates than crumpets anyway. By the by, what exactly is a crumpet?
