Blogging by Kindle

A first - and possibly last - attempt at posting via my kindle. That should probably have the trademark symbol after it but that option's not available on the miniscule keyboard. It's painfullly slow and a bit like typing an essay on your mobile phone. But it's free to use and in the absence of any other internet connection I can't complain. I cannot, of course, upload any pictures which some people might think is the only bit of the blog worth looking at but there you go. I can always add some later. The previous post was uploaded courtesy of the local nobility. We are moored right outside the chateau at Chatillon en Bazois alongside their lovely gardens. Unfortunately, they've turned the wifi off today. Perhaps they've gone away for the weekend. The weather is spectacular and we are having a great time. My French isn't getting much of a workout though as nearly all the people we meet on boats are Aussies, Kiwis or Brits.
