Work went ok today, I did six hours and it didn't completely wipe me out. Although that said, I'm about to tuck myself up in bed for the night with a hot water bottle and a good book :)

I must do the lottery this week, I feel the signs are favourable. Picture this. I was trying to recall a book I'd read ages ago, a mystery set in some snowy area of the US. I picked jenni411's brains and it rang a vague bell but she couldn't recall the details. So I posted a plea on rec.arts.mystery and settled back to wait. RAMmers always know the answer to these things so I knew it wouldn't be a puzzle for long.

While I was waiting, I idly poked the internet and ended up on amazon.com where I planned to hunt for DVDs. And this was the main page that greeted me:-



And there it was!! "Nordic Nights" by Lise McClendon! "Recommended" for me, first book in the list. THE VERY BOOK I'D BEEN TRYING TO RECALL ALL DAY!!

I've not bought fiction from amazon.com for a long time, so it's inevitable it would throw up old orders at some point, but what were the odds it would throw up the one book I was trying to remember?!

So yeh, TOTALLY doing the lottery this week :D

Heheh, I play the National Lottery online, did a ticket for the Euromillions draw last night. So when I saw an email from them this morning going "We have good news!", just for one, brief second......Then sanity kicked in and I figured I'd won maybe a tenner.

And I was right :) Still, hey, 's nice to win something now and again!
