I've given back the iPad...


I was fortunate enough to be given an iPad at work last year, which allowed me to do cool things like send emails that said 'sent from my iPad'.

I was initially under the impression that a tablet could replace a laptop - and more than a little miffed when I realised it couldn't. Between the laptop (work) the netbook (home) the back-up removable drives (work and home) the TomTom, the Kindle, the digital camera, the iTravel car radio-thingy and the iPhone 4S I have more than enough technology to keep me busy. And I find it difficult to justify R3,000 per annum in insurance just to have '-Sent from my iPad' at the bottom of my emails.

My grandmother's garden

My 'grandmother' has the best garden, full of hidden treasures and quiet places to sit and think







and interesting things to look at while you sip your first coffee of the day

and bug-eating flowers
 and, being my grandmother, she told me this is a Stapelia. Of course.

Thanks for having us
