My kindle has arrived.

I am most pleased,though I haven't done an awful lot with it yet. The cover is blue.

And my first typing of kindle was knidle - perhaps the K should be silect.

coming up for air

I have been silent for a while as the thought of being even half way coherent on my blog was beyond me. This was mainly due to setting up for a 2 week intensive subject I ran, followed by a 4 day conference. I've now had a week back "in the office" and my brain has settled down again. The course went well. I had lots of complements. The conference went well. I think I've finally figured out how to get something useful out of going to a conference. I'm now dealing with trying to get reday for semester which is only a week away and 3 days of that will be spent in another courshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife that I'm a student in.

In other news,
Somewhere in there I had another birthday & we've been eating birthday turkey for 8 days so far.
My computer is getting weird again. I'm downloading the latest video card driver to see if that imporves things. I have doubts about my power supply though since my DVD drive is "vanishing" on occasion. In an unrelated matter, my headphones died too - I had a new pair and plans to change over, but I wasn't expecting to do it just then. Or maybe it was the computer port playing up too. The new headphones plug in differently.
I finally bought a kindle - it hasn't arrived yet. I did the easy thing and bought from Amazon with a case with a light - so many colour choices. I chose blue. Pink would show the dirt, I don't like orange, green seemed a bit off & I seem to by everything in red, so this was a novel colour for me...As soon as it turns up I'm buying Andreas novels - all of them - in a great glut. Speaking of which Thanks for the tea, I'm off to have some momentarilly.
Ok. Off to install a video driver. This could be a long night. The tea will help.
