iPods and Visitors

Well I have finally relented and bought myself an iPod. When visiting with the Banker in Sydney a couple of weeks ago he demonstrated his system and I must admit to being impressed that such a tiny little box, when combined with tiny little speakers, could create such a big, big sound.

So I let my fingers do the walking, shopped on line for the best price and now have my own marvel of nano-technology. Of course this has also meant that I have spent most of the day shoving my CD's into the computer and converting them to iPod compatible files. 36 down, LOTS more to go ....

So it was sort of nice to have some company late in the afternoon. It having been a glorious day, I'd left the front and back door open to let in a little air and sunshine - and also wildlife as it turns out. I was sitting at the computer when there was a telltale rustling from behind me and little scampering of claws on floorboards ... A large blue-tongue lizard had decided to move in and was thoroughly perusing his new abode.

Thank goodness for George the neighbour, his broom and a box!
