Is it five people and five different appliances or five people on as many appliances as you want, I wonder.

I like it but use it less. The magazines available vary as agreements with the app change, but there's always a good selection. Because you can have up to five "reader profiles" on a membership we have added my daughter too, although she doesn't live with us. You may be able to do the same (or even piggyback onto someone elses account!) There's also some educational magazines and articles on there which can be interesting (I'm an ex-teacher too!)<br />I hope this is helpful.

I was impressed by the King's first speech and also by his interaction with the public outside of Buckingham Palace. I'll watch the formal proclamation on TV this morning and then may go to see it disseminated to the public locally on Sunday. I've always loved the traditional things and this is a change to see history in the making.<br /><br />I seem to have Blogger issues again and some of my regular readers have said that their sidebar links to my blog aren't working even though I continue to publish posts every day. I have the same problem linking back to some of the blogs I regularly read, so just to let you know that I haven't disappeared! xxEileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-83709055725994945272022-09-10T09:29:00.643+01:002022-09-10T09:29:00.643+01:00As above, thanks.
