Rashes and Specialists

Migraines and rashes are plaguing my life this week. I developed a rash I feared was German Measles and having sat next to a pregnant teacher last week I was nervous. I cannot remember what the Doctor said but it is not infectious and is related to my issues with immunity. I guess more blood tests will be ordered now.

On Thursday night I developed another migraine and have been living in a bit of a haze ever since.  This time I took a tablet as soon as I realised what was happening and I am hoping it will prevent any more. Just feel headachy and out of sorts.

I have started reading a new book on my kindle:
  
The story of a sojourn living at Shakespeare and Co in Paris, Jeremy Mercer weaves a tale of books, characters and eccentricity in this most famous of bookshops. If only we had such places today, there was one in Christchurch which I visited twice, unfortunately it had to be abandoned, with all its old, rare and valuable books after the earthquakes.

Gail Sheehy has written a new book, Daring, which has just been published in the US. Unfortunately the woman who put the link to it on the WLM page would not believe me when I said it was not available to purchase here in NZ. I think Americans do not realise that Amazon is sectored and some of what they access we cannot, I wonder if they can purchase NZ books? I hope it is available soon, I would love to catch up with her points of view as the years have progressed.

I am still struggling through One Night in Winter. I am unsure of the writer's motivation or reasons for writing this, it is very odd. What nation could realistically lock up a group of school children, including a 6 year old in the most notorious of prisons and get away with it. I doubt the book is going to have a happy ending, it all seems too bizarre.
