I wanted to give the Solitaire Crime Stories game a try. Since none of those games that use yolla ads work on my desktop PC anymore, I tried it on my shiny new iPad. It worked like a charm - with the only sour point that shiny new iPad doesn't save any games that I've played. So I have to start everything from the beginning, instead of continuing ( Read more... )

After quite a few very busy days I decided that I deserved a lazy one. So, I did absolutely no housework, save for washing the mugs we drank from and making a large bowl of muesli for the next two or three days. Instead I watched some telly, did some writing and transcribing, solved some crossword puzzles and was generally very, very lazy. I didn't ( Read more... )
