True Horus, but to me it's like the difference between reading a book and reading a Kindle. I have reference books online, but for pure pleasure I like paper. The smell ……….Mmmmmm. :lol: :D
Went for a more adventurous outing on the scooter this morning. Still seeking out the best sidewalks for the small wheels of my GoGo Elite. In all I probably did 2 or 3 miles and the battery...

When booking flights for Faro I also booked for Fast tracking , in my case thinking just to avoid the long queues .
