My family gave me the ipad for Christmas some time ago, I really do love it even though I'm told sometimes by some of my older grandchildren that I am more addicted than they are! Blogging, scrabble, keeping in touch with family, sharing of photos, particularly with my family who live elsewhere and so on. I have a game of scrabble with myself first thing every morning, thinking my brain will slot into gear! Then I feel I can fall into reading my current book with my second cup of tea in bed without feeling I should be getting up! When my girls are with me, either in their homes or here with me we play a game together. I did start Scrabble with friends, maybe I'll get back to that.
I hope you are having a lovely weekend...we began the day with a frost but now it is beautiful so think I'll go outside and prune a few more roses...enjoy the rest of your weekend, love to all, Mrs A
It is amazing how wonderful and powerful these little bits of technology are in our lives. I love that you enjoy it so much - you're very with it..... Love me. xxooxx. p.s. Can't wait for scrabble soon!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I've had you all to help me get started! Love you too, Mum
DeleteHi Mrs A, sorry to year your I-pad is getting on your nerves (or 'ripping your knitting' as we say in our house!). I have found a similar issue with my iPad, and when my cursor stops, I find if I tap the key on the bottom right (the one that represents the typewriter pad), then tap the point where I want to start the next word, that seems to sort it out. This is a very laborious explanation for a process that takes half a second, but it might help? X
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny, I'm trying this as I write! I just wrote the first two words and then it happened so was able to try your suggestion out straight away...and it worked! I'm very grateful! Xx
DeleteI've had issues with the iPad when commenting - it stops, I have to remove the keyboard for a second and then go back and it works. Not sure what the hangup is, though. Beautiful summer painting but you've had frost? I forget sometimes you are so far north!
ReplyDeleteThis all helps...and I'm sort of glad others have had similar problems. Not that I want you to have a problem but it does mean I haven't been doing something wrong! Hope you can understand those sentiments! This photo was taken early last summer before we left the farm, near one of my favourite spots, a lovely quiet almost meditation all spot. And we are in southeastern Australia! Xx
DeleteHi Mrs A! I'm happy I found your blog and got to see this beautiful picture of yours. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for coming...I've just been to your lovely blog. I was trying to translate with my school girl french when I saw you had thoughtfully put an English version! Xx
DeleteTotally agree with the frustration of commenting using iPad. I start my mornings catching up with what's happened around the world and use my iPad but some days I have given up after the comments jammed up, yes I can do what others have suggested but sometimes even this does not work. On those days I then revisit from my laptop in the studio. Technology is great when it works but when it doesn't it takes more time than writing and posting a letter lol
ReplyDeleteIsn't it frustrating! I check things out in the morning too although have to wait until breakfast when I'm near the Internet modem...doesn't work in the bedroom with my cup of tea! I can use the laptop but mostly leave it to E as he uses it a lot in the mornings too. Thankyou for visiting, hope that new little one and her mother are doing well, xx
DeleteThank you for sharing beautiful photos.
