Saturday, November 30

 I was scratching around for something to read when I came across The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.  I remember looking at it years ago because it's about a fellow who probably has Aspergers' Syndrome, but I don't actually remember reading it.  Now that I have, I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed it.  Graeme Simsion is the author and he has written other books whihc I'll have to look for.

I've always preferred crime fiction but I now find that I get bogged down in the detail and have to re-read, which is not great.  Maybe these 'lighter' books with a simple story are more appropriate.

Jamie dropped in this morning and was showing me his latest gadget: a device which you plug into the car and it will identify any faults.  My car is almost ten years old so I was interested to see what the device would say.  It said no problems.  What was the show, years ago, where one of the catchphrases was 'Computer says No'?  It was something about travel ... I've have to look it up.
