I read 93 books this year, mostly ebooks with a small number of paper books thrown in. I am trying to get through The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon but i don't think i'll finish it today so it will have to go into next year's allottment. Have also got a couple of other books i've been picking at through the year as well and since they aren't ( Read more... )

On the plus side, it's snowing and has been for several hours. If it doesn't rain, we could have a white Christmas ( Read more... )

An off duty police sargeant was nicked yesterday for drinking and driving... an unmarked police car! He was involved in a single car accident. Idiot.

87 Dancing on the Inside - Glen C. Strathy
I'd actually read this awhile back but i don't think i put it on the list. It was another free book for a review from Librarything.com (been getting ( Read more... )

I survived the mall. As expected, it was pretty quiet when i got there about 5. Had a bit of a wander, picked up a few items and got home by about 6. Painless. I'll get everything wrapped/bagged this weekend and that's it. Still no word on the drywall work so I don't think my tree will get put up this year. If i thought they weren't going to get ( Read more... )

Last year i read 35 books. This year i've hit over 80 so far and i may reach 90 by the end of the year. That's all thanks to the eReader mainly because i've got back in the habit of reading before bed now and I often read at lunchtime as well as on the bus. Before, i mainly just read on the bus to and from work. With that in mind, book 82 is The ( Read more... )

One day down, one to go. The MS Excel online course was pretty good. i did two courses, the beginner and intermediate though it's odd, it didn't really go into formulas much, just doing quick sums of columns. You'd think it would give you a bit of practice with slightly more involved formulas though not necessarily complex ones, or at least how to ( Read more... )

Our office move is imminent. This time next week we'll be doing our last bit of packing. I've got most of my stuff purged and packed and it's just my every day stuff to go. I may have to repack one box, though because the box was reused from something else and it's not in very good shape. It contains books so it's heavy, too. yes, i probably should ( Read more... )

I like this keeping a record of what i read. I've really gone nuts with the ereader. I read a lot now, a lot more than i used to. Lunchtime at work most days, commute and in bed at night and sometimes through the day on weekends but not as often. Downloading books, buying a few from the Kobo site, getting some free from the Library Thing member ( Read more... )

It was nice to have three days off. From July on to Christmas, each month has a long weekend or a day off. October in Canada is Thanksgiving. Next month, we have November 11 off and that's a day off wherever it falls through the week but if it's on the weekend, government and banks give you the Monday off. This year the 11th is on a Friday anyway.
