Well Read

As predicted, the e-reader dumped me in techno hell. It took 3 hours to download everything - the everything being the program and all of Charles Dickens. I could have had Jane Austen as well but I've swottily already read all those. Anyway, I have started Bleak House and it's wonderful; I am Jarndyced to distraction. One problem with the e-reader is the page turning. The process of turning is easy enough but when you read an actual book your eye goes to the top of the next page as you're reading the bottom of the previous one so you get a good flow. This doesn't happen with the e-reader as you have to open the next page ... if you get my drift. This slows you down and makes slightly disjointed reading. I guess you get the hang of it after the complete works of Dickens; I don't know how to download anything else.

I went to the most knackering Zumba class imagineable for a whole hour last night and I will never walk again. However,it was wonderful despite Mr Smith moaning about having to cook the veg, which he didn't.
