Cringing at the idea

 I lied. I had not finished my new book. It seems to want to go on and on!

 I added another two chapters and did yet another full edit. 

The title is now Lady Phee's Scandal. I've done the cover - and may yet tweek the title placement, but  it's getting there. I shall let it rest for now and see what I think of it all tomorrow.

I intend to have this done and on the market within the month though  I can't be sure of the exact date. Certainly before Christmas. 

Received an early Christmas present of a new mini I-pad this week and I'm busy switching things over. My old one was fifth generation so there are quite a few changes in how to use the technology. Lots of information automatically switches over, including photographs, which is a boon. I had thought I'd have to move them all over individually and was cringing at the idea. 

There are so many pitfalls with technology these days. I do wonder why these cards** that scan every other card in the vicinity (illegally) and then go and take all the cash out of someone's bank are allowed to be on sale. (That is if they are on sale.) I am sure they cannot have a legitimate purpose. Safer to go back to cash, really, especially now the banks are departing the highstreets. We've needed to travel twenty miles to reach a bank since the middle of this year. We can go to the post office on the High Street, so I'm told, but I have not done that yet. There are 2 machines  which will give cash but they are hardly ever working. 

**An RFID card is a card that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to wirelessly transmit data to a reader. It contains a chip and an antenna to communicate through radio waves, enabling uses like contactless payments, security access, and electric vehicle (EV) charging authentication. The card is tapped or held near a compatible reader, which then transmits and reads the data to complete an action, such as granting access or processing a payment.
