Glad to hear it Geoff. Always a nervy time.

What about a paperback (*wash my mouth out with soap*) - would help stave off the withdrawal symptoms?

Thank you. I never bothered asking my brother what he was doing when they soaked their suits overnight in large barrels.

Yum! I remember my family always making them when I was growing up. Sad to say, we all just buy them now.

You get a holiday for voting? I hope you were able to get in some reading time.

I'm just too paranoid.
I think I'd need to lug along a bombproof safe to put my Kindle in. Plus its own brawny bodyguard

Well, then, that proves it _some_ Kindles are Indiana Jones while others are scaredy cats.

And I don't really have protection for the Kindle, tbh, that's the main reason I'm leaving it at home.

I agree, NEVER go out without protection!

Read! OK.. do the applications, then read. The comments on MR have all highly recommended them. The author and her husband are members here.

So, glad. It is always so worrying to have to wonder.

I envy all the divers here. Although I would probably die of fright if I were to go diving and encounter a shark

bugga! I knew you couldn't trust google!

There was a game on a TV show here (Spicks and Specks), where they used google translator to convert song lyrics to Japanese and back to English. The contestants had to guess the original lyrics.
