Went into town to run some errands, send some stuff off to my Mum and pay for my ticket to Hong Kong next week. I also popped into Best Denki and bought the Panasonic software that will let me copy my mp3s onto my phone digitally. Although the coding ( for the digital rights management!) takes a while, it’s great to be able to see the artist name etc. on the phone’s display! 9 hours of audio, plus the quality is great. Overall then well worthwhile and yet another reason to love my phone!

And at long last there is also a new laptop out that’s better than mine. For the last two year the specs have just been going downhill and the machines have been getting bigger! Silly really. So the new Fujitsu is a similar size and spec as mine, but just a touch faster. So I’ll at least have one option if mine decides to die!

I also had a look at maybe having the phonics songs as paid for downloadable MP3s from the site. That would be interesting if I could get it to work.

After shopping it was down by the river to do some music work. It’s amazing what difference the weather makes, yesterday I couldn’t write anything genki at all, today with the sun shining and fine weather it was all really easy. Cool.
