Birth is beautiful

Lovely birth last night for a first time mum. Her family were so loving and supportive and fun. She pushed past the fear and birthed her baby into her mother's hands. Wee baby girl had her cord cut by her father and then nestled skin-to-skin with her mum. Beautiful!

I <3 gadgets

I have a new Acer Iconia tablet which is Android powered. I have a portable hard drive formatted with FAT32 and chucked some movies on it and they play fabulously. I can plug in a USB keyboard. I am having so much fun with it. It won't play the MMORPG I enjoy but I had been doing less gaming anyway. Also photo editing and the like are best done on my desktop. My desktop has been playing up and this is a very useful option in work settings and at home. Maybe I can upgrade my phone to Gingerbread and keep it to basic applications...

Crazy week

The children lost their great grandfather this week after a long illness. I have tonsillitis even though my tonsils were removed. Bryce had his car broken into. My baby sister and her husband are moving further away and I will miss Hayley heaps. My car's alternator belt decided not to make the whole trip home.

Argh!
