I just arrived home. But the plane i flow in was not build to host a normally built man. If you are over 1,70 m you are in risk of losing your ability to walk because of how cramped it was. The nice lady sitting next to me was sympathetic but as she was 1,60 herself she was comfy. Apart from the flight home everything was great. Warmer than usual but as i had no plans of doing anything it didn't bother me much. 32-33 C (about 90-91 F) every day and some days with over 35 C (about 97 F). There was always the pool (10 meters to walk) or the ocean (30 meters to walk). I read 14 books in 2 weeks and am at the moment halfway through The Ferryman by Justin Cronin which is actually quite good. i really liked the first book in his the passage trilogy but thought that the other two could have improved if a bit shorter. Dont feel this so far with this one. Otherwise i read, reread rather several Agatha Christie, Then i read Double Image and North by Rome by Helen MacInnes and also Smallbone deceased amd Death In Captivity by the criminally underrated and i sometimes feel forgotten Michael Gilbert. He was a great mystery writer from the middle 40,s to the middle 80,s. He wrote more in the later 80,s and 90,s but i dont think it is as good. Anyway, all in all, a great holiday. There will be no chance of me reading one book a day for some time......

Wow! Your reading speed is amazing. I’m glad you had a great time, sorry about your La-egs, Lt Dan. 😜

Well, some of these 14 was not really long, perhaps 100 pages, and that was some true crime books i read about some unsolved murders (the Borden case was in there because she was aqquited so its technically unsolved). But now, as work starts on monday, my reading rate will drastically drop....., Sad but true.

I went in to the second hand bookstore today, just to look. I came out with 10 books! In my defence i might say that they had a special deal 10 books for 2 US dollars. And there were at least 4 i really wanted so i started with the 4 safe and then looked for 6 possibles. Very enjoyable time standing in front of a bookcase choosing which will have the great honor of joining me at home.

Warmest september day ever recorded. 30 C ca 86 F i think, Pity i had to work...   September hereby is often much cooler than that. you are wondering if its time to hang in your summer clothes and and wear the litttle thicker jacket to work. Today i just wanted to peel off my skin to get cooler.

Clumsy me has been at it it again. Had a Cola catastrophy occur at home. A Big bottle of Coke had a Mount Vesuvius like eruption and the two main victims were my computer and my bedsheets. The sheets will recover but the injuries to the computer were probably fatal. Gonna take it to an IT expert at work who offered to take a look to see if he could salvage anything. Had to buy myself a new one. Most things seem to be saved in the cloud but somethings, if not saved, are gone..... Well, dont be so clumsy, stupid!

Sorry about your 'puter Kurb.
