Lol Regen. Yes, it happened to me a few times when I first started reading ebooks, but it doesn't happen anymore. However, sometimes I still do tap on the side of the book to flip the page :D :D

Me too, wanted to turn the pages of an ebook, but that was only when I began using ebooks. It has not happened to me in ages. And I never tried to tap on a real book page. You two are weirder than me  ;D

Oh, thank you. How sweet. You are awesome yourself. :)

Today is the second day of the summer holidays. This weekend we had a lot of new neighbours moving into the big house. I have not seen all of them yet. But it seems there are at least two families with kids.
This is very exciting. I hope they are nice people.

Ooooh, yes, I hope they are nice. And perhaps their kids can play with yours.

We bought a new TV! I am happy to report is working  :)

Dina, I know you can't tell but I'm blushing right now   :)
@Regen: You have my deepest sympathies ;D I hope they're not Neighbours From Hell. Probably too much to hope for, but you never know.
@Dina: Enjoy your new TV! What are you watching right now?

Oh dear, I hope not. But OK, in this case we will have to set the bats loose and put cobwebs everywhere and the Skull looking out the window. Let's see who's more afraid, lol.

@Dina:
Have fun with the new TV.

Very Coraline. I approve :D
Well, Elin, daughter of Elina is here :)
I'll send another picture tomorrow if I remember. Lol

Oooh! Welcome, Elin!  :)  I hope she is wealthy

Well, no idea what I was watching when you asked that question, Fcrate, but I am watching TV news now. TV is working very well, and I am happy to see I could watch some football match without problems  :). My previous TV had screen problems (some spots were brighter than the rest) and the effect was especially annoying when watching matches. Something about the green field made them more apparent. If all continues well, we will be able to see the World Cup with a very clear image.

 I just had to think about a childhood friend from Kindergarten times who told me about his favourite TV series. I can't remember it's title, but it was an American one from the 70s. It seemed to me the only reason he was watching the show was, because the main character had green hair. Like the Hulk. That's all he ever told me about it, except for the title. So I got curious and wanted to see for myself. But the guy had some sort of greying hair that used to be dark blonde or light brown. It wasn't bad, but I wanted to see the green haired man and there was none, so I was very disappointed.

Years later I finally understood that their TV screen had been a bit too green. LOL!
