Upon my return from Bath, it never recharged. It's deader than dead. Just a complete blank. The only thing I can think of is that a bit of bottled water dripped in my purse where I was carrying the tablet. But I could see no sign of water on it and it's wrapped in a plastic case. Good thing I had just finished the Ann Cleeves mystery.
I had decided to make the tablet my only computer/kindle etc for Rome and leave the laptop behind. Sheesh. Now I have to take the larger computer and nothing to read.
One problem solved. I went into the Oxfam Bookshop today. Panda was right, Oxfam has a separate bookstore so the regular ones don't take books.
It had quite a nice selection. One of my purchases is a classic travelogue by Patrick Leigh Fermor. It's part of his account of an epic walk from London to Constantinople he did aged 18 in 1933. I believe it is part of a trilogy. I've certainly heard of his work but sadly can't remember if I've read anything by him. I think I mix him up with Laurie Lee of Cider with Rosie fame. But I think Leigh Fermor is the better writer.
I also bought an older Le Carré novel. I will have to replenish before I leave but at least I have reading material.
Did I say I love the charity shops I'm becoming obsessed with them.
