Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

Want to get top floral tips or flowers for the one you love sent direct to his/her door? This skill's just won an award here in the UK and I hope you've the same skill/something similar wherever you are. BTW, if you order before 3pm then they do same day delivery too.

If you have a special other person in your life and you want to test your compatability with a rigorous, scientifically-proven system, then today's skill may not necessarily be for you. On the other hand, if you want to try a skill that, for some bizarre reason, only gave our happy marriage a ❤️❤️ rating out of five, then give it a go. BTW, it may not work by asking to, "Open Matchmaker," so you may want to enable it by that name first.

Mentioned in a recent VoiceBrew newsletter, this skill will grill you on a particular person from history and hopefully leave you a little more enlightened. Why 'Bamboo'? No idea. I'm frankly bamboozled by that bit.

Today's skill is by Amazon and can use 2-4 of those fab Amazon buttons if you have them, but you can play it without. Play your part in telling a space adventure or how you helped in a right royal rescue. Several stories and lots of fun for kids of all ages.

Another fab skill by those guys at Hugo.fm, today's is a pretty faithful reproduction of that time-honoured British institution; the pub quiz. Grab some friends, some paper and a pen and make sure you get the right skill as there are quite a few with the same name.

New month, new free great audio books to listen to before both it expires and they do too. Also a blatant plug for the murder mystery genre's answer to fast food; M C Beaton.

There are approximately a squillion and a half Kindle books available at low, low prices so, if you don't mind the A-lady's voice reading out all your favourite ebooks, then this feature's the way to go. Also now with the new choice of reading speeds.

Another version of yesterday's skill, but today it's for kids only. Kids of all ages, that is. Enabled with the above but once again opened with the phrase 'Impossible Sounds', it's unclear to me how both skills can be enabled at once without some sort of Schrodinger's cat quantam uncertainty scenario being involved. You have been warned.

Enabled with the above but actually opened thereafter with 'Impossible Sounds', this one's a lot of fun. Be warned, though, that enabling it by voice might be trixie so you may want to nip into the app to get the ball rolling. It's well worth it.
