Gadget Queen

Anyone who knows me will relate this title to me. I loooove my gadgets. And two new ones arrived during the week. A food pod for my Garmin - which will now record my distance/speed on the treadmill so that I can download to the computer, and a Mini Ipod for swimming.

Last season I grabbed "a bargain" on Ebay and bought a waterproof ipod casing for swimming - thinking I will perform better and for longer if I can distract myself with music - like I do with running. Of course the "bargain" worked out to be a bit more expensive as my existing ipod didn't fit - so I've been searching every since on ebay for another "bargain" - a mini ipod to match! It came and I'm getting quite excited. I've even downloaded books and geocaching podcasts onto it. Imagine that - I could "read" a whole book whilst swimming!

I was telling a good friend (the owner of the pool I swim in) about my recent purchase and waiting for him to laugh and the conversation went like this
"Really - you can get waterproof ipods?"
"Yes" I said hesitantly - waiting for the snicker
Pregnant pause
"Do you think you could leave it here between swims and I could borrow it? I could swim so much more if I could be listening to music!"

Ah ha - I'm not the only crazy person in the world - and not a bad deal either - considering he lets me swim in his heated lap pool in the mornings for free!

But what really got me posted about gadgets - is finding out about all the amazing blogger gadgets that exist ! I've uploaded quite a few in my sidebar. I think I'll have to visit my own blog daily just to see all the latest quotes and tips! Check 'em out and have a game of Hangman on me!
