Fun and frustration

That pretty much describes my weekend.
The trip to Christchurch passed quickly thanks to some fun with my husband's new GPS. There is not much for it to do for a while once it has said 'continue for 160 kilometres', after all the road to Christchurch is fairly straightforward. However, as we have a shorter route into Christchurch and the GPS kept trying to turn us back onto the main road, it created a bit of a laugh as we kept saying 'nope, not going there!'. It did pretty well at getting us to our destination in Christchurch though.
We confused it by stopping at the mall to pick up my iPad. Naturally it was a comfort stop too and here came some of the frustration. I can't believe some people. Here were two hand driers and a queue of people waiting to use them. One lady seemed to be taking some time. Turns out she was actually drying a shoe! Too bad about everyone else, and I'm not even going to consider how the shoe got wet.
More fun in seeing my two adult sons and visiting with my mother-in-law before heading home to play with my new toy.
No quilting done this weekend, and not a lot of reading. Plenty of frustration in sorting out the iPad to set up, but lots of fun now I have audiobooks, ebooks, Solitaire, Bookworm, and Mahjong to play and all our contacts entered. Photos still to come. There are a couple of quilt apps that could be interesting and I still have to try buying a book online and getting it onto my iPad.
Naturally it's going to work with me tomorrow to try things out on the free wifi. Do you think I could consider testing out options on the iPad as part of my work? Nope - oh well, worth a shot.
