For me it's is about travelling with books. The weight and space for books is a pain in the butt . To run out of books is a disaster of major proportions . My life stops if I do not have something to read. That is why I love my Kindle so much.Gert Good point, for travelling it would be excellent and I always have a couple of books in my locker at work.Maybe I need to have a rethink.Nice buys Maddy.
My first copy of the delicious magazine arrived last week, same as Maddy postedThe purple carrots, had 3 boys & dh, peeled a carrot & chooped it up. Then asked them all to taste it & tell me what it was. Dh said parsnip, LOL, one boy said carrot straight away. It was fun.H

Two precious commodities.I used to buy 15 newspapers a week and now I read more newspapers and buy only 6 papers a week. I don't enjoy the reading of newspapers on line as much but I feel better about it. I take all my papers to the local YAPS/RSPCA for the doggies and cats. At least I feel I have not wasted them in a way. Also means I don't have newsprint fingers on everything and I can take a week to read The Sunday New York Times.Any mags I buy do the rounds of friends and neighbours. I buy Masterchef and Vanity fair on my iPad. Much cheaper and I get to keep them. Now why don't they sell GOOD wine in BIGGER bottles.Gert
