Since I started picking up apps for Hannah, I figured – what the heck; why not write reviews for a couple of them? Shortly after picking up the iPad a few weeks ago, I started hunting around for applications to

The Pad

Posted on 10 May 201123 Dec 2018   by CY

If nothing else, ownership of the iPad has not given me any surprises. The tablet has been commented, praised, criticised, debated and reviewed to death; and like every other gadget I invest in, I didn’t walk into the buying process

Posted on 10 May 20113 Apr 2018   by CY

Aggghh. And we still haven’t thought about what to do for her next month for her birthday! The last weekend of General Elections was intense though. A lot has been said about it already on blog sites, the newspaper, and

Hard Decisions

Hannah’s First Rally

Posted on 3 May 20114 May 2011   by CY
