The Cure for the Common Cold

Well at least temporarily that is... A few months ago I saw a demonstration of the new Panasonic Lumix Camera at John Lewis and very nice it was too, except that I didn't really want another camera, but there was a prize draw for a Panasonic DVD/Hard disk recorder which I duly filled in the form for and promptly forgot about. The last few days I have been in Leicester and as my cold has returned I have been feeling more than a little crap with a headache and really bad sore throat.

Got home this evening and checked the post to find a letter from Panasonic to say blah blah blah you have won a DVD recorder - in fact it was a DMR-EH60D which was nice! Strangely my cold feels better at the moment but I am sure that it won't last long though.

I'm still in a state of mild shock as I don't think I have ever won anything before at least of any value - hope this is the shape of things to come.
