Playing with gadgets

I've finally persuaded my husband to get me an iphone so I can keep in touch with everything wherever I go. Mainly it's because I want to watch/listen to my favourite programmes whenever I want using the iplayer facilities. People keep telling me I'm too old to be using such things but I disagree - I've never got past twenty mentally!

It's a fascinating piece of kit. The camera is wonderful and now they have upgraded it so you can send and receive pictures (I couldn't believe the lack of this common facility when we first got the things...) I can see it being really useful.

I keep this blog unlisted because I don't want people to read it - so why am I doing it then? Don't ask me, perhaps I may come out of the closet later. For now I'm unsure as to how such things are going to be used/abused. It is a good way of keeping a diary, and maybe I'll let some people view it by emailing them the addy.

I've been ill this week, another bad tummy bug - keep picking them up, I think from school, not sure what to do about them and I'm sure the school is fed up with my having time off!
Still, until they come up with a portaloo you can easily attach to your bottom I have no choice. Enough of the toilet humour :-)

I've also been contacted by the Times Lit Supplement who have picked my name from a debate that has been ongoing in their forum. I should know better than to trust the press - particularly the far right - but they are supposed to be objective at the Times. Time will tell...
