Perhaps I Won't See You Tomorrow!

I was a bit disturbed when I logged on to Words With Friends when I was having a late morning coffee today.  What do they know that I don't know?


The purpose of this post is to see if I can manage to get the photo to load properly from my iPad having had some help from Carol the iPad guru.

Thinking Ahead

Okay so by ahead I only mean this coming week but that's quite an achievement for me these days. That doesn't mean that I don't plan.  I do.  Sort of.  But this time I've done no planning apart from booking my flights. The rest is all being planned for me.

I'm going to Sydney to stay with a close friend of over 50 years who lives in Canada but who has a daughter living in Sydney.   The last time we were all together was when we all holidayed in Italy in 2012.  Her daughter has been on at me for years because we meet in Europe or here in New Zealand but I've never been to visit her in Sydney which is less than 4 hours away across the Tasman from New Zealand!

It is more years than I can remember since I have been away for more than a day or so without my laptop: especially if there were photos to be downloaded and blogs to be written.  Well the next eight days will be different.  I leave here at crack of dawn tomorrow morning.  Me, my iPad and my iPhone and no Macbook!  I have, however, decided that by the time I get to Sydney I will have learned more about using my iPad.  I know that at the moment I do not realise its full potential.  I've even downloaded the Apple manual for it.  My intention is to carry on blogging as if I was doing so on the laptop.  I suddenly decided this because of a post by Carol in Cairns.  Thank you Carol for that and for the subsequent information.

Why the photo below?  Simply because I wanted to see if I could do this post with a photo from the iPad.


A rather large hearse with a 1929 Austin 7 tucked in behind.

Addendum:
Well it didn't all go completely to plan.  The picture downsized itself and you can't take photos off the iPad using Blogger in Safari on the iPad which is rather odd.  However I'm sure I'll overcome these difficulties and carry on blogging.
