I'm heartened by how ' I don't feel like reading 'is met with shock, horror and International concern.

Great minds, etc.

Some free Patricia Wentworth Golden Age mysteries today : Click.

The lead story is Las Vegas. So awful.

Ooh, the Discworld books with Granny Weatherwax. There`s also a Cosy Mystery series called Ophelia & Abby, by Shirley Damsgaard

It`s odd, isn`t it ; sometimes being able to tear through lots of books, and sometimes losing the ability to even read a few pages every day. ;( Do you like having baths as much as showers ? I haven`t had a bath in years ( a poorly back makes it awkward to get in and out of the tub) but I like showers and have an exciting range of shower gels to choose from. Currently, I`m into vanilla.

Up to season 7 of Stargate SG 1 now.

It's Off With His Head - Ngaio Marsh.

Yes ! This rings many bells, but I'll need to look through my book lists to find it.

I'm still reading Q's Legacy : Helene Hanff. I just seem to be reading it during waits for my acupuncture appointment, so it's taking a while to finish. However, it's a lovely, lovely read.

How's your mojo doing now ? I've been catching up with magazines lately ; shall get back to books soon, I hope. I can't believe it's October already.

Yikes ! Hopefully, ours will be okay ; one of our neighbours is a retired electrician and trained the one who did our work ( and came over to supervise a bit, too ).

Thanks. The electrician is popping back midweek, then that'll be it done. He's going to fit a better diode into the security lights, which will mean they're just as bright but don't suck up 500watts. Madame is fast asleep in her snuggle drawer ; I don't think I'll put it back in the chest of drawers, she loves it so much.

Gaia, healing hugs for your Grandfather.

Such sad news, Madeleine. My condolences.

Thanks. I'm still astonished that the Initial build was such an electrical mess. One electrician is back to.morrow ; it turns out there's another fault, this time in the downstairs rooms. Using the stair light is tripping the fuse box, and he thinks that someone has put a nail or something similar through a cable, which is making a crossconnection. Hopefully, day 3 will be the final day, cos Xiao-Xiao is getting fed up of hiding under my bed when it's too noisy.

Aww, thank you. We've got electricians in atm ; the house was built in the early 1970s, and it turns out that the lights weren't earthed at all. It's a wonder no-one was electrocuted. Anyway, tomorrow should be the last day, with a few more checks and rewiring, and the installation of a new fuse box.

Just getting over some silly cold, hopefully back to proper posting soon. I did treat myself to some books : The Grand Tour - Agatha ChristieThe Bon You can buy happiness ( and it`s cheap ) - Tammy Strobel The Black Widow - Daniel Silva The Art of Detection, Laurie R King The Bone People - Keri Hulme The Quotient of Murder - Ada Madison The Cretan Counterfeit - Katharine Farrer Lips Touch - Laini Taylor Mary Russell`s War - laurie R King My Not so Perfect life - Sophie Kinsella Conclave - Robert Harris The Clever Guts Diet - Michael Mosley

Free today : Jackie Collins` Chances. I`ve pasted the paperback version - not free - cos I previously had an issue with the Kindle clicky automatically buying the book.

Do you have any cat pics, Anna ?

Thank you ! I`ve got some clothes to go to the Save the Kitties shop, and much more sorting out to do.

Hope the flu disappears altogether soon. Ooh, those are some great, cheap books ! And a signed one ! Forgot to say, congrats on the Anniversary.

Ditto.

Aw, cute ! those are great names. Xiao-Xiao has taken to sleeping in my undies drawer ; I'm doing a ( much needed ) clear out, and there are drawers from a big chest of drawers on the floor, which she found and purloined. Purrloined . Hee.

The characters really stick in your mind. Hope you like the look of it. Btw, have you tried EE Holmes ? She has a great trilogy too.
