Wow - almost March!  I last wrote Dec. 15th! 

Today has been a very mild, mostly-sunny day - good for the 'spirit'!

Yesterday was the long-awaited release date for Blackberry Playbook's OS2 - I had installed the pre-release Beta, which was a bit of an improvement, but after installing it I had decided to just wait for the 'real thing'!  So early yesterday I did the install - which was quite quick. Then for the couple of 'problems' I had I searched on both the Blackberry forms and Crackberry forums.  I learned how to make new 'folders' which I did using my choice of folder words.  Reinstalled Overdrive Media Console, which was the big thing I was waiting for.  Initially it didn't seem to be working - but after putting my Playbook aside to charge it all seemed to work fine.  Downloaded a book from the library and read it last night.  Today I played around with it a bit more and downloaded a couple of more books.  My only complaint so far is that the library is still needing more books.  But the books will definitely come.

Don't get me wrong - I still love BOOKS - real books, and that will never change!  When Heather and Sherry (our Homestay Student from China) were down in Victoria this past Monday, we spent a while in Bolen's Books.  I'd never been there before, and it is a very big bookstore for an independent.  Given a 'blank cheque' and unlimited space I could have walked out with hundreds and hundres of books.  As it was I got one called 'Crow Planet' which Heather had on her list to get for me for Christmas.

I cleaned a lot in the kitchen, and I think that at the moment I'm procrastinating.  I should either do some WORK or do some major tidying here in the Den.  My desk is overflowing, and I have piles of paper that need to be shredded - or something.  I think I will stop for a snack, may a coffee then come back and do some serious tidying!!
