(no subject)

I'm back from my trip Oop North, and I had a fantastic time once again. I'll do a longer post about it all this evening as I only have five minutes left of my lunch break now.

Winter is definitely upon us. The amber warning light was on in my car this morning and looking at the forecast for the remainder of the week, I'm thinking I may even get to see the red one! Eek! I just hope it doesn't snow when I'm in London next weekend!

What else did I want to say...? Ooh, I know! Ryan Giggs. WTF? Okay, give the bloke a lifetime achievement award, but sports personality of the past twelve months? Bonkers! Still, at least it meant Twat Button didn't win. Ha!

Okay, there was other stuff I was going to ramble about but now it's 2.00pm and so it's time to get back to work. Here's hoping I stay awake until 5.15pm...

days 13 and 14 of 30...

I didn't get a chance to do this yesterday, so today you get two for the price of one. You lucky, lucky people.

Day 13 - A Fictional Book
This a tough one but I've decided to look at the books I've read over this year (I'm currently on numbers 43 and 44), and recommend one of those. And the best book I've read this year is Unsticky by Sarra Manning. I bought it for some holiday reading but never got around to reading it in Mallorca and then I kept putting off reading it for ages. But once I started it, I just could not put it down. It was awesome stuff!


Day 14 - A Non-Fictional Book
This one's easier. I'm going to pick a book called Emma and I, by Sheila Hocken. Sheila was a blind lady who lived in Nottingham and the book is the story of her relationship with Emma, her guide dog and how Emma changed her life in so many ways. I've always loved dogs but my mum didn't like them and I didn't think I'd ever get one. Then one day mum decided to read this book and it made her realise that there could be positives about having a dog and she and dad took the decision to get Jessie, our first puppy. So this truly is a book which changed my life!
