What are you all up to today? - part 3

after a nice ride to Buckler's Hard yesterday, we mooched slowly upto Brockenhurst via Everton (village) and Sway.

nice pint in the pub and then an gentle cruise back via the disused railway line that crosses the New Forest.

a left turn (south) taking us into New Milton and then Barton on Sea for an ice cream on the sea front...

back to the van in time to catch Raonic taking the fourth set to level things up and then to demolish Roger in the fifth....

looking forward to the Murray game....

home tomorrow for a bit.....

Now  its  my  turn  to  hope  for  help  today 

Just  got  myself  working  on  my  nice  new  Kindle,  but  altho'  I  have  managed  to  get  it  registered  &  find  my  way  round  it  reasonably  well  {  Its  much  different  from  my  original,  but  thats  having  problems  so  its  been  replaced },  what  I  am  having  probs  with  is  the  over-sized  engineering  paws  on  the  ends  of  my  arms  !!  Does  anybody  know  if  Kindles  react  favourably  to  the  silicon  rubber  tipped  stylii  ( styluses  ??)   I  could  always  adapt  a  cover  to  hold  one  of  them  if  they  work  well. If  not  I'll  just  have  to  reduce  my  expenditure  on  E-books  'cos  it'll  take  ages  to  type  out  a  book  title  if  I  have  to  correct  it  8  or  10  times.  Either  that  or  I  could  order  the  book(s)  before  my  evening  meal  which  might,  just  might  sharpen  my  keyboard  skills,  if  not  my  finger-tips !

Brian, I've got the Paperwhite and I've just tried it with one of my bargain stylus pens from eBay (10 for 99p). It worked fine in the same way as on a Tab/Pad/phone.

I've got  kindle fireand m using a 'prodder' that came with a phone case to  type this

Edit it fits I. The earphone socket. Don't use it for this or phone but might've handy for hubbyhe has similar problem. Thanks for the tip.

Up at 6am this morning to do a bit of work (actually paid work!) then later a trip to the tip with the garden waste.

Off to wash the front of the caravan shortly, then cut the grass, then might watch the cycling (or wait for the highlights? Decisions, decisions......)

I did both......dashed out to cut a bit of lawn in each of the commercial breaks. And what a race!

Report to follow in the Sports section.......

We wait to watch the highlights, but I have to be careful not to see the result first. Like that old Likely Lads episode (No Hiding Place)

Arrived safely in Macon.  31 degrees here - feeling warm.

Write your comments here... Oh you lucky B....r. Have fun

Sorting out kit after Fishing Guiding day yesterday up in the hills. Was surprisingly cold for July with almost no fly life (Global warming)> Off again tomorrow to Clywedog and guiding there.  Hard life and wont be away in the van this week. 

I was at Clywedog reservoir a month ago, watching the Ospreys, guess the chicks have grown considerably.  It's lovely around there which I really enjoyed.

Write your comments here...That's right, Oneputt. It is lovely around there. We were there last year.

Write your comments here...That's understandable, David. I feel too hot at 26 degrees!

Hope you enjoy Macon David, I can't say it's anywhere near 31c here but at least it's dry.  Have just booked an outside theatre evening with the Illyria company, Midsummer Nights Dream....should be good, will take a blanket just in case!
