What will they come up with next?

I get a daily round up of stuff from the Baptist Union which often has interesting and quirky things, today was no exception.

The latest thing to come out is an electronic reader called the eBible. Click the title and you'll see what I mean.

Not only does it let you load up several different electronic versions of the Bible, it's also a perfectly good pda and all for about £7!

Wow is all I can say, I'm off to write to Santa and tell him what a good little girl I've been and can I have one in my stocking..... I wonder if he'd like smoked salmon canapes instead of mince pies too?

Advent Calendars

A bit late into Advent I grant, but I found this really cool online Advent Calendar today - it's got everything you need to sit and meditate on the real reason for Christmas so you are prepared for the coming of Jesus this year.

As you all know, I knit and crochet, so for those of you who are that way inclined too, check out this Advent Calendar - not religious in any way, but some lovely patterns which don't take long to do. I've already done some of the snowflakes and a bell and am half way though a candle mat thing which they call a beobeche?

Hopefully I'll get some pictures posted on Ravelry, but that rather depends on hubby and the camera as we all know I'm hopeless with one!
