Sweaters and Kindles

Today I went to visit friends on the other side of the island. I took I took the jumper I’d knitted to little John.  Luckily it fits perfectly, and both him and his Mum are pleased with it.  Actually, I’m pleased with it too.  I had a wonderful time playing with little John.

Then I showed his Mum, Nikki, my new Kindle.  One of the few books I’ve got on it so far is the advance copy of my own: “The Dodo Dragon and other stories”, so she started reading the first story.  To my enormous delight, she got sucked in.  When she finished the story, she apologised for being rude, but flattering your guest like that isn’t rude.  I loved it!
