This one is not so hard, don't be shy,
Step right up and give it a try!

Joe and Sally where sitting in their family room one night. While Joe was watching T.V, his wife Sally was reading. All of a sudden the power went out and Joe decided to go to bed, but Sally kept on reading. With no use of artificial light, Sally kept on reading. How?

Have Fun My Lovelies!!

i was going to guess that too..she either had a battery powered reading light clipped to her book or she was blind..lol

I think Connie is right, it is still light

Are those battery powered reading lights any good ? I have a friend who is an avid reader and have often thought of buying her one.

Definitely above the Arctic Circle is my guess.

I've got a battery light. I find it great!! Also good when using dark fabric. Shine from underneath to find the holes.

Score another for the "Brain" Two in one day,
She came out and was ready to play!

You Have Done Well!!

Lets give Mags a double whammy round of applause for getting both of today's riddles!
The correct answer is "She was reading braille!"

I was going to say she was reading braille but since I am so late on here I have to just add my 2 cents worth to the end. The storms here are still playing havoc with our connections.

Well done Mags.

Thanks for the idea about using an LED to uplight dark fabric, c_f and Wendy. I got one for Christmas. What a good idea.

Mmmm I might just have to get one for myself
