Blogs

Hi everyone.

This is going to be quite a lengthy blog post, and also I know a slightly contentious one, but I wanted to chronicle my experience of my journey into the world of using an Apple Mac. It has been one of initial excitement and anticipation, but which soon turned to annoyance and frustration. Do stay with me as I get this out of my system and write it all down.

In this short podcast, we talk about a new aspect of LeaseySearch, searching with the National Library Service in the United States.

I wonder how many of us have done it. I know I have. we've sat there in front of the screen when we were going to move on, we've listened to the annoyingly hyped up voice, we've watched, those of us who can, the oh so enticing gadget that we're suddenly sure is just the thing needed to make life perfect being used with absolute ease, and we believe it when we're told that either "It's so much fun!" or: "Clean up is a breeze!". Then we listen to the blandishments, the offers, the slashing of the price, the bonuses we'll get if we only call now!

In this short chat, we wish the Global Voice internet radio station a happy sixth birthday, and reflect on our time there. www.theglobalvoice.info.

In this short podcast, we talk about Lulu's new Apple Watch, received today!

In this post, I talk about how we are very much enjoying using Spotify for Windows Desktop.

Teeny Tiny Toby Jug, the reborn leprechaun baby, has to take the prize for cutest baby in all the gang of six, even when he is having a moment and demanding lunch now if not sooner!

The depths of winter might not seem the right time for a picnic, but reborn toddler Brooke had a Leapfrog Picnic Basket for Christmas and for her, any time is the right time to spread the blanket, unpack the plates and get down to some serious picnic playtime fun!

Here we meet my second Christmas baby and a regular little Princess she is too. Melody Joy is full of beauty, charm and character. She was a gift from an extremely kind friend. The unboxing was recorded mostly for my generous benefactor. I have been graciously allowed to include it here on the condition that my friend's name is withheld to preserve privacy, hence the glaringly obvious edits.

I was doubly blessed at Christmas 2014. I received two reborns, one from my husband and one from an extremely kind and generous friend. Here we meet the first of them, the leprechaun baby Tobirian, Toby for short.
