It has poured with rain all week and the weather forcast predicts no improvement as far as I can see. I have loaded up my kindle with some good books and am so pleased that I signed up for Amazon Prime. This means that in addition to getting most stuff delivered the day after I ordered it I have also got a huge range of films and TV serials to watch any time I like.
Time to treat yourself :
I have owned a Kindle for several years and regard it as an essential item.I now have dozens of books on it which means that I always have something to read no matter where I am since it is so light and easy to take in a hand bag.Many books like the Bible are free .I can also read the books that I have bought on my mobile phone and enjoy audio versions.
