Shattered

I spent much of the weekend trying to get my new phone reset. I had set it up to receive emails when I was at work but I seem to have put in the wrong type of email and it used up almost all my data trying to download emails. All of Saturday afternoon was spent trying to remember what I had set up in the phone to personalise it for me, very frustrating.

I finished 'Flying Colours' at the weekend and started another book which seemed like a western so I quickly deleted that and started reading Eleanor Catton's first book.

  
Still a long book I am hoping I will enjoy it as her books seem to need concentration to follow the small details which connect the plot. I need to read more local books but often find them dull compared to international writing. As this book is set in a girls school I am sure I will be able to link it to my own experience working in an all girl's school.

I have almost finished reading "French Illusions' so I am guessing that Linda will soon have a run-in with the dreadful Madame Du Bois and go her own merry way. I think the way she is treated at the chateau is dreadful and as Linda has asked me to email her when I have read the book I will have some pertinent comments to make.

I am not sure what I will read next but hope it is as page turning as Linda's book. I am now more confident downloading books from the Blind Foundation for my VRS so as soon as I see a good book listed or reviewed I will download and store in my computer. 

Tomorrow I have to visit the eye specialist, the first visit in 8 months. I hope I am not there as long as I was last time, it was so disorganised. Perhaps he will be able to offer me some advice on my migraines, but doubt it will be ground-breaking. This week is very busy so reading is my time for relaxation.
