Sidderknee day 1

For some reason i had booked a ridiculously early flight and checked with metlink as to which train i needed to catch to connect with the skybus to the airport.

As always they gave me 3 options. The first had me catching the last train LAST NIGHT, the 2nd had me catching the first train this morning (5.07) or the 2nd train this morning (5.22).

So i decided to take the middle option & catch the 5.07.

So far so good. Only the 5.07 was delayed 20 minutes, & the 5.22 was delayed 10 minutes. Still i made it to the airport in time for my flight & that was the main thing.

Due to an uber crappy last couple of hours at work yesterday i was too upset to sleep last night so it was a tired & emotional little vegemite who dumped her suitcase at the hotel & headed to guylian for coffee, chocolate, & chocolate.

After that it was a pass thru the opera house to a shady, sunny, spot in the botanic gardens where i alternately tried to read (Common lawyer by Mark Giminez) or doze.

Dumplings for tea (of course) and i think an early night will be in order.

I can haz a fipad (or an ipatch)

For the past few months I've been convincing myself that I don't need an ipad.

*ebooks - I already have a sony ereader (that I love)

*lightweight carry anywhere internet machine - I already have an eeepc (that I love)

*music, games & pretty much everything else - I have a itouch which I use constantly

So yesterday I went to JB to spend a $15 gift card that expires on August 30. I also had another $85 dollars in gift cards and was intending to buy an ipod dock/clockradio thing (& some dvds)

Instead I walked out with an ipad.

I spent last night renaming it the FIPAD & downloading apps to the fipad.

I rang my brother to tell him I was with ipad, almost 5 year old nephew answered - he wasn't interested so I told my sister-in-law. She called the news out to my brother 'Hey Fi's got an ipad'

Next thing I know Master 3 is on the phone chatting excitedly with me about my ipatch - he doesn't care that it is really a sort of computer he just thinks I'm cool pirate aunty.

Will do a full fipad review when I've played with it more thoroughly.

I'm taking it to sidderknee with me tomorrow so that will give it quite the workout I suspect.

I now have more internet capable gadgets than I have rooms in the flat.
