Water and iPads

It's come to my notice that condensation inside an iPad is not good. As the wife decided to use her iPad while having a long soak the condensation in the bathroom has some how managed to get into the iPad. The end result is that the iPad is now working its self with out the need for anyone to touch the screen.

This does of course make it a tad hard to use.

So before having to try and find the money to buy a new iPad, we are trying the old trick of dry rice in a bag with the iPad in it. So far it's been 24 hours, bit scared to get it out of the rice bag and see if it has worked.

But I suppose I will have to bite the bullet and see if it has done the trick.

If not I know what I am sadly going to be doing on Sunday......

M40

Went on this today, I think I was a lucky chap in that the traffic was flowing freely.

Tesoc

So from tesoc I ordered the following whisky Dalwhinnie 15 year old but they did not have that and provided me with Highland park 12 year old which one is the better whisky?

Home made

Just a note to me that home made curry is always good, even if you can't be sure what you are going to get at the end of it all.

Colder

So the weather men are saying it's going to get colder. Not happy about this.

Sunrise

So sunrise was different to the sunset last night in that it was a red sky sunrise, which if you believe the old sayings means bad weather is due soon.

Other than that the red sunrise was nice to look at.

Sunset

Tonight was one of those sunsets that has the clouds highlighted but not a lot of reds, mostly yellows. Either way it was a once sunset and that's alwYs good in my book.

San Francisco

San Francisco is a really nice place to visit, the things that I remember about it are the Golden Gate Bridge in fog  and the fact that in hot weather the main span between the towers sags by upto five feet!

That in strong winds the golden gate can sway by 27 feet!

San Franciso has 43 hills and covers 49 square miles. That the hills really are much steeper than they look on the tv or in the movies.

More later.

Roast chicken

The smell of roasting chicken is nice, probably not so good for vegetarians.

Dark

Wow it dark rather quicker than I thought it would do tonight. I suppose the fact that we are just a month away from the shortest day might have something to do with it.

Back

Back from a beak in the USA. All was good Las Vegas is an interesting place and so is San Fransico more later.

Winter colds

I still hate winter colds and ones that take ages to get rid of. So I still have the lingering effects of the cold and a raw red nose just to add to the fun.

One the the coughing fits that I had did something to the mussels around my ribs because it hurts now when I cough, which is not good, so I can say I am not happy.

Sunlight

So we are loosing daylight hand over fist as we rush towards winter.

Cold

So I have the first cold of the winter.

Sunrise

Really noticed this morning that sunrise is getting much later, had to have lights on to drive in at 7 today.

G Live

Went to G Live last night, and I must say the 20 odd million that it cost to build appears to have been well spent.

The show we went to se was called Jackson and was very good it was just sad that the place was not full but there were enough people there for it to be okay the lead singer called Ben was very good and seemed to have a lot of energy and appeared to. Be word and move perfect through all the songs.

I shall look out for more shows at G Live, the only snag with it is that old chestnut of parking, and the local council thinking that motorists should play through the nose for parking at night. Although saying that the parking was only 1.50 for the evening after a certain time.

Cat

So we have two cats and very nice they are, but lately the younger cat has taken to being rather aggressive in wanting his ears being scratched. How does he do this? By head butting you to get your attention and nudging you if you stop.

Ios7

Just a small note to me that now that I have Ios7 installed for a week or more I really don't notice any changes in the way that it works other than it just works most things work the same or perhaps a bit better.

One thing that they still have not changed is that the screen keyboard still does not have cursor keys which makes it a pain when trying to correct a typing mistake as you often end up having to retype the whole word again.

For some reason there also appears to be two different coloured keyboards why?

Any way for me it works which more than can be send for some of the apps that I use on it.

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is.....

tea!

I don't think I need to say anything more do I?

Weekend

At last the weekend is nearly here, and I must say that I need the lie in even if it's only until 7am!
