I recently picked up a Lenovo Tab M10 HD which uses Android as it’s OS. (I paid about 80 bucks on eBay).

Unfortunately, it won’t let me upgrade to the latest version of Android, but I’m liking what I see so far. Appreciate any tips or advice from other fans!

The dog is so excited that we’re home after a week away in #London that he immediately broke through the fence and I spent a jetlagged Sunday morning driving around the neighborhood, trying to find him 🙄

Went for a tour of the Tower of #London today and am amazed at how beheading was such a big trend for so long…they just couldn’t get enough!
