This book by Dr Nic Peeling could so easily have turned out to be a collection of statistics as it is written as the result of research amongst hundreds of retirees. Dr Peeling himself is a recent retiree.

The book covers the usual facets of retirement, health, mental wellbeing, relationships and finance etc. It is well written plus clear and concise with a touch of wry humour. The credibility of the information is enhanced by the fact that it is based on research amongst retirees plus input from specialist contributors in the field of finance etc. Additionally, the presentation is much more lighthearted (but still very relevant) compared to other books of this type with lots of highlighted tips, although arguably some of these are a bit obvious. I felt I got lots of useful advice on wellbeing and ideas for things to pursue in particular.

Having recently retired myself I have found this book extremely useful and believe I will gain more from it in the future. I have also bought copies for a number of friends who are entering retirement themselves. Recommended.

The Toyota 2000GT was manufactured between 1967 and 1970. This car is widely regarded as the sports car which showed that the Japenese could truly compete with European models. A convertible version also featured in the 1967 James Bond film "You Only Live Twice".

This Autoart model is superb and, you should ensure you get the enhanced version (which I believe is on offer here) which sports a number of additional features including the pop up headlights that are activated by a small lever from under the model. The wheels, glazing and body panels are all produced to a high standard and the level of detail is astonishing - the lights, exhausts, seatbelts, dashboard and engine etc. have to be seen to be believed. The bonnet, doors, rear hatch and side storage panels open to reveal further detail.

If you are a collector of iconic cars in 1:18 scale this is an essential edition to your collection. You can also get this Autoart model in convertible form and other colours including red and gold although white seems to be the most popular colour.

My girlfriend suffers from migraines and I was extremely grateful to another Amazon reviewer who brought Imigran to my attention through one of her reviews. Imigran is intended for genuine migraines not merely headaches and is designed to work on their root cause rather than just treating the symptoms. It contains the active ingredient Sumatriptan which is supposed to help control associated nausea and light sensitivity too.

You get two tablets in the pack which come in a handy keyring type container so they're at hand at first signs of a migraine onset. You take one tablet and can take a further dose after two hours if the symptoms persist. You should check the suitability of this medicine with a doctor or pharmacist. However, Imigran has worked well for my girlfriend bringing considerable relief within half an hour to an hour. Recommended.

This book is a very good read which explores the subject of the supernatural with reference to allegedly real situations for which there are no obvious explanations. It is interesting and thought provoking. Once I started reading this book I felt a compulsion to carry on and read it in one pass. Sometimes I think the author gives the impression that he is a sceptic, although, to me, that adds to the intrigue of the accounts in ths book.

Overall, a well written book by Chet Dembeck with perhaps a slight slant towards the sceptical but with plenty of interest for most people and particularly good value in Kindle format. Recommended.

I am on the periphery of needing reading glasses but am not a confirmed case as yet according to my optician. I like gadgets but sometimes the instruction manuals are printed in very small type, and, so, I bought this magnifying glass to read them.

Delivery was prompt and I'm very pleased with this device. Yes, the frame is plastic and the "glass" may be too but it gives a good, clear image. The magnifying glass is like a pair of bifocal spectacles in that it has an additional inset lens which gives a limited area of increased magnification which is very useful. It also features an LED light powered by two button cells - the light output is good and helps significantly. One design point that could be improved is that the LED light stays on until you switch it off and, if you forget, you can drain the batteries. However, this device must be seen in the context of its asking price and it does deliver a good degree of magnification with considerable clarity. Recommended.

I ordered this silver glitter for my girlfriend to use in her new found hobby of making bath bombs.

Delivery was prompt and the glitter itself is genuine cosmetic grade which is important in case any gets in your eyes etc. whilst bathing. It is also much finer than some of the glitter you see in card shops etc. but curiously imparts much more of a sparkle. It is also packed in a convenient container that you can use and reseal. Recommended.

This is the first Skagen watch I've owned although I've been interested in the brand for sometime and usually buy titanium watches because I tend to get a slight allergic reaction to other materials. As I see it these are the pros and cons of this Skagen (233LTTM) watch.

Pros
- Very smart and looks much more expensive than it is partly due to an ultra-slim profile.
- Feels well made although I'm not sure that it's actually made in Denmark.
- Clear dial and it keeps excellent time.
- Mineral crystal glass is resistant to scratching.
- Compared to other watches it is quite small in diameter and ideal for smaller wrists (although see my comment regarding the bracelet below).
- The band adjustment is easier than on some watches with integral bracelets - you move the clasp rather than remove links.

Cons
- The clasp is certainly not titanium and is clearly marked as such - I suspect that may be true of the whole bracelet. Amazon and Skagen really do need to clarify this point before someone gets officious about it.
- The band can be fiddly to put on especially in a hurry.
- The band doesn't fold completely parallel to your wrist where it joins the actual watch - if you have a skinny wrist like me this can mean the watch doesn't sit as comfortably as it could.

This particular Skagen watch represents very good value at the current price. It is well made but the product description and watch band design need refinement. Overall, though, I'd still say recommended.

This pressurised container of 4 Head Championship Tennis balls represents very good value when benchmarked against local sports stores. These balls look and feel the part - they are obviously well made, and, in my humble opinion perform well. I emphasise the "humble" bit as I make no claim to any proficiency in tennis but am assured by more proficient friends that you'd need to be some way up the tree of tennis capability before you justified spending more on tennis balls than these - their performance is, I'm told, very good. I've also noticed, in common with other reviewers, that these particular tennis balls last a lot longer with our four legged friends than most others too - I gave one of mine to a neighbour and the feedback I received was that it was the first tennis ball to last their Rhodesian Ridgeback any length of time! Recommended.

This is the 4th book in the DS Jessica Daniel series and maintains the high benchmark that has already been established by Kerry Wilkinson. This audiobook version comes on 8 CDs running for around 8 hours and 40 minutes.

The book fits either as a sequel to the previous Jessica Daniels stories or, if this is your first foray into her world, you won't be at any disadvantage either. The book is impeccably read by Beckey Hindley who in my mind has now become the persona of Jessica Daniels who is a no nonsense, front-line police officer who's immersed in the stark world of criminal investigation.

The plot of "Think of the Children" revolves around one dead child found in the boot of a crashed stolen car and two that are missing - one of them from over a decade ago. Jessica Daniels is the Investigating Officer and the plot is geographically centred around the Manchester area. The storyline holds your attention throughout and the plot is largely unpredictable right up until the end. You are also left with the feeling of realism thanks in part to the "warts and all" portrayal of Jessica Daniels - she may not have the tact or political sense to make it to Chief Constable (and I say this with some insight) but she is a credible investigator dealing with the harsh realities of crime involving children.

In summary, this audiobook is compelling and will maintain your interest from beginning to end. Recommended.
