I had a lovely day. It started by going out for breakfast with the family (my mum dislikes having dinner out, for some reason, so this was a pretty nifty alternative) and ended with fireworks and sparklers in the garden. We almost overlook the large, professional

Sounds like you had a lovely day!

I would highly recommend Kindle. The app is free on Amazon's website and there are thousands of free books available as well.

Free is always good.

Hmm, kindle, eh? *goes to investigate*

Always thought it must be great to have your birthday on Guy Fawkes night :)
I have a kindle and use 'Calibre'. It acts as a sort of library for all my e-books, which i transfer to the kindle as needed, but the beauty of it is that it converts all formats to the one the kindle uses - so you're not tied to amazon. Not sure if it's suitable for what you have, but it's worth checking out.

It's the best time of year!

I think I shall go and have a look at how calibre works!

My immediate thought was 'A tablet? What an odd gift...'then I twigged - a little computer thingie, not a paracetamol.

Duh :)

I kept telling P that I was going 'to take my tablet upstairs' and he got all worried that I might have a headache, even though he was the one that bought it for me. You are not alone.

Also, *glomps*, not see you in forever! Y'alright?

You are quite welcome love! I was hoping to have made you a banner/wallpaper but life if beyond nuts currently. But hey, this way you can give me specific actors/actresses/animals/other and I can make it even more customized to your liking :)

Ooh tablet! Which one? I think breakfast is a cute alternative. Fun!

Good luck with nanowrimo! Yay for plottiness.

That's jolly generous of you! I would love a banner for one of my stories . . . I have one in the pipeline that would benefit from a banner . . . It's about to head off to be beta-ed, but perhaps you might like a read before it's published? Give you a bit of time to let life calm down on you a little?

As for the tablet, no idea! It's not a popular model. I think it might be unbranded, although it uses Android. It's rather exciting.

Going for breakfast is still quite a novelty in the UK. Lot's of fun!

My pleasure. And I would love to have a read pre-publication :)

I'm a super-Android-fangrl! I recommend dlding the following apps: Chrome, of course. Pocket (for bookmarking articles & such). Kindle. Dropbox. Cozi (though there are many other free organizing/to-do list kind of apps out there). Evernote (especially if you use it on your comp as well). Apex Launcher for increased customization. WizzWidget (ok, I badly want a tablet now!). Swype Keyboard if yours doesn't already come with one.
