March 2, 2019 at 3:43 AM The fabulous Green Eye of Goona, a very rare and valuable green-tinted diamond an inch and a half long, sensationally vanishes from its Indian palace during the 1902 Royal Durbar.
And a case of 80-year old Imperial Tokay magnums travels from India to Britain, where the bottles are sold at auction, much to the shock and horror of the man who stole the diamond and secreted it in one of the bottles!
The search is on! Good fun.

March 1, 2019 at 1:06 PM Awhile back, I used to use the Chrome and Firefox (Mozilla) browser addon "Send to Kindle" where you could send web page content to your Kindle for later reading. I found this useful for articles I came across when I was busy at work, I could send them to my Fire and read them in bed.
