I finally found the courage to set up the new phone. With the old one constantly running amok I thought it was time to move on. It was surprisingly easy in one sense and wearing in another. Several things went smoothly, though I am still seeking others from all around, and Google, bless them, made it much easier, as long as I gave them everything!
As always the changes are better, except those that are not. Much time was wasted fantasising on how to deal with Californian 14 year-old Geeks! And not in a pleasant manner. To them, making things easier, quicker, and more helpful, is to me a nonsense which makes no sense whatsoever. Do they have no schools over there? Or do they spend so much time dodging bullets from mad pupils they cannot see a straight forward way to do things? Innovation is not always required!
Anyway, while tap, tap, tapping and getting no response i was trying to look through the mirk at Scotland getting gubbed by Australia. Edinburgh in September has the most wonderful skies. Deep blue flaked with black, cool air, the lingering aroma of a recent summer, the promise of more tomorrow. Naturally, the clouds covered all this and the game is being played in a near mist! All around people are wrapped in winter outfits, though a few short wearing eejits can be seen, and not just the young trendies either. The desperate Edinburgh middle class man proving his mettle in public for all to see is here. Cameramen shrouded in black coverings could be mistaken for nomadic tents, while the schoolkids of course have not yet noticed the weather, they are just seeking autographs or attempting to catch the ball when it runs out.
That said, my new phone keeps making noises and I canny see why. This will keep me awake all night I bet.
