Another day off ...

Well I'm pleased to report that the new phone is living up to expectations. Mind you I very nearly messed it up big time! Having set it up and played around with it for a while, I decided to see if I could download Skype to really make it an amazing piece of useful equipment .... NOT a good idea! I managed to download Skype and that was fine but I also succeeded in losing all the BT pre-sets.

After a lot of experimentation (and quite a bit of anxiety) I finally managed to restore the original settings. I've now removed Skype and hopefully learned my lesson - leave well alone!

We had an enjoyable evening last night joining golfers from the parish for the dinner after the Parish Golf Day. I must say, I didn't envy those playing golf in awful conditions yesterday. Never mind, lots of smiles afterwards and hopefully a tidy sum of money raised for our parish school's building fund.


A glorious day today weather-wise and I spent a happy hour or so this afternoon planting about 100 tulip bulbs in the new raised beds - roll on Spring!

A new toy ...

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a 'gadget girl'. Well, I've got a new toy! I got home on Friday afternoon to find a note on the mat from the postman to say that there was a parcel to be collected from the sorting office.

I just about managed to contain myself over the weekend but 'hotfoot-ed' it to the sorting office almost as soon as they opened this morning.

The parcel lay on the back seat of the car while I was at work (burning a metaphorical hole in the seat!) but as soon as I got home, I plugged it in and it's charging now. I'm also a great reader of manuals. I know that is really strange but I like to know as much as possible about something before I try it out.

This new smart phone is linked to our Internet account and the beauty of it is that it has wi-fi so I'll be able to access the Internet when I'm at home and out and about at no extra charge. Funnily enough many of the big coffee shop chains now have wi-fi access as well as hotels, airports, railway stations etc. .... Not that I need much of an excuse to pop into a coffee shop!

I'll keep you posted as to whether or not this phone lives up to the hype.
