Friday, August 29

 As I mentioned yesterday, Jamie and I had a visit to Officeworks.  I had in mind to buy a tablet for Marilyn as the one she has been using is a few years old and the screen is not as sharp as it once was.  In fact it was a Samsung Tab 8 which Jamie and Nera received as a freebie when they signed up for home internet.  It was passed on to me and I used it daily until I acquired my Lenovo, bought for $99 in a JB HiFi sale.

I love going to Officeworks.  Some men rhapsodise about visiting Bunnings but I just don't get it. I met a bloke once who told me the best Christmas present he received was a $100 Bunnings voucher.  I can visualise him now: running into the big shop, voucher in hand, to pick out a new shovel or punnet of seedlings.

On the other hand, Officeworks is like a fairy kingdom, with aisle after aisle of treasures.  I could spend hours there (and often do).  

Yesterday, we looked at the avalaible tablets and I selected a Lenovo Tab 10.  It's a beautiful machine with a very clear screen.  Marilyn has a number of favourite games that she likes to play, including jigsaws so a 10-inch screen gives her a big enough work space without being too ponderous.

I've already floated the idea that, if this purchase proves to be worthwhile, I might consider buying myself one too.  It doesn't hurt to lay the groundwork.
