Our Stitch-n-Bitch birthday meal went well and, as we had the restaurant completely to ourselves, we did get a bit 'noisy'. These are the two 'birthday girls' - Sue on the left and Sylvie on the right although it's not a particularly good photo as I had to merge two into one and it now looks as though they share an arm! None of the photos came out very well although I only took about three. My birthday is next so I can choose the restaurant this time round but, of course, as my birthday is so close to Christmas, we need to book early so I must make up my mind soon.
This is an update of Valerie's QFRR as I managed to do a small part yesterday and I hope to finish this motif later this afternoon. It had been so long since I had worked on a piece of this RR that I could not find the pattern so it therefore took me ages to locate it. I am usually well organised and have project bags but because this is an RR and, once it gets mailed on, the only thing I have is the pattern, I do not have a project bag so hence the pattern got mixed up with a pile of other patterns.
I am finding it very hard to motivate myself these days, the lack of light is getting worse day by day which means I am getting worse too. I put my light box on earlier but nothing is the same as natural sunlight. I am due to visit the doctor shortly so I will mention this to her but I have already been diagnosed with SAD so I don't expect she will be able to do much. A prescription to spend the winter in a warm sunny climate might help though!
Do any of you have a Kindle? And, if so, are they worth the money? I checked them out on Amazon.com and they look amazing so I went over to Amazon.co.uk and it seems they do not sell it on their UK site! Does this mean they do not work worldwide? Obviously I would be able to read it but would I be able to download the books or re-charge it using an adapter? Any comments/views would be much appreciated.
Thanks for visiting
Take care
Hi Carol!
I have a Kindle and I love it. I suspect that the reason you don't see it on your Amazon page is the wireless functionality. Amazon's "Whispernet" is served by Sprint here in the US. Until they have a provider in the UK (or anywhere else) I wouldn't expect them to advertise too much.
The good news, is that you can use a USB connector (included) to transfer files from your computer to the Kindle. Amazon creates a "Digital Library" for you and downloading files to your PC is easy to do. You can also transfer other text-based formats for reading :)
I love love love my Kindle. I am a constant reader and usually have at least two books in progress at any time. Now that's a Kindle book and a regular one.
I would suggest that you review Amazon's Kindle offerings before making the purchase. Not every book is automatically formatted, so be sure you've got plenty of options right away.
