Yarn Along - Bubble Rap

I swore I'd never buy one, but I have!   

I don't even know why I was so 'anti' in the first place?

I think I perceived it as an imminent threat to the printed word!  It's not really.  It doesn't have the touchy-feely-odeur appeal of a 'real' book.  

But I must admit, this Kindle thing is pretty cool - but a wee bit fragile.  Hence the need for 'bubble rap'.
We recently discovered that Rémi probably has a mild form Dyslexia, which makes reading a bit of an ordeal.  A friend of mine who is in international development and who specializes in education and technology, told me that new, unpublished studies, are revealing that dyslexic children read more efficiently from a screen than a printed page!  And another mum, who's son is also experiencing some difficulties, pointed out that, to a dyslexic child the mere volume of pages of even the smallest of books presents a big challenge.  But when reading from screen they only perceive one page at a time - thus the task of reading a whole book seems instantly more manageable.  He seems to like it, but it's new and has novelty value at the moment...

As I bought the Kindle from Amazon, at the same time I ordered myself  The Homemade Pantry - 101 Foods you can stop buying and start making.  This is a cookery book you can really read, filled with funny anecdotes from Alana's gastronomic journey through life, oh, and great recipes too.

See the three eggs, they're from my girls!  They finally started laying the morning after the summer solstice!! How bizarre is that?  I'm so proud of them, they're such a pair of cuties!

Usually I'm quite immune to marketing, I have my shopping list and I don't deviate, but these bottles of belgian beer got me hook, line and sinker.  Just look at the 'papa smurf' label!  The beer itself was pretty tasty but a tad strong for a monday evening!
