My Favourite Gadget

Last night I curled up in bed with my favourite gadget.
It is small, discreet and slips easily into pockets and other places. ;)
Most of all I like stroking her soft smooth surface.
Last night I was feeling in a really low geeky place so I needed to be read to sleep.
She whispered poetry in my ear and then a nice fairy tale.
I woke up cuddling her and she told me what the latest news was, how many emails I had and let me listen to my very own radio station.

She is a lovely little thing, cute and black although I keep everything but her face covered in a tight rubber outfit just to be safe it also makes her easier to hold on to.

Recently late at night she has been showing me lots of Wentworth Miller in Prison Break.

I love her dearly. If she could provide me with a tad more than a virtual cup of coffee I might toss the other occupant of the marital bed out on to the floor at night (I just typed marital as martial wonder what Freud would say about that).

My exciting and geeky life has been transformed by my 8GB Apple iPod touch.

Apart from all the wonderful things she can do with music and video when you are in range of WiFi this is first class little laptop in reality allowing full web browsing at lightning speed and excellent email facilities allowing me among other things to keep in touch with daughter number 3 who is in the jungles of Costa Rica.

I have owned MP3 players {and tape players before that} of all sorts and varieties since they first appeared but this little beauty has stolen my heart and she goes everywhere with me.

[for the really geeky ancient bearded and sandaled - listening to the radio via the tiny speaker is as exciting as listening to Radio Luxembourg under the bed clothes on your tranny fun in the 60s}
