Just finished this nice book about the history of the Longitude Act and the troubles of the man (John Harrison) who finally found Longitude by building the world’s first precision timekeepers (‘clocks’).
Discworld – The Last Hero
Its the last one of the Rincewind series and its full of drawings and comes on nice glossy paper (which is sometimes hard to read off)! Another time for Rincewind to save the Discworld …
(Not So) Happy New Year
First of all … A Happy New Year to all of you loyal readers ;-)
Unfortunately our year didn’t start too good …
We picked up one (or a couple) of the nowadays quite popular Noro viruses and ended up
spending New Years Eve and Day in bed and/or the bathroom.
Especially the latter one you get to know quite well … but I guess I’ll spare the details ;-)
Anyway today is the first day that is kind if normal again and tomorrow I’ll try and actually start the year for the first time … back to work that means!
Merry Christmas
just wanted to wish all my loyal readers a Merry Christmas and a lot of cool presents ;-)
I certainly got som cool ones … I might write some more later.
Now I gotta go eat some more Christmas lunches/dinners … puhhh!
Enjoy!!!
Discworld – The Last Continent
And there we go …
The new adventure starts at a continent called “XXXX”, which of course has nothing in common with Australia ;-)
