I dropped my phone tonight and its completely buggered.Apart from coming on here it is my main contact with the outside world so even though I hate talking on it I'm desolate. I don't know when i can replace it either, as I am mostly unable to get out. My daughter was going to pick me up and take me shopping, but she rings or texts first and if i don't answer she will assume that I'm fine. She doesn't email and i don't use the same media acvounts.
Bugger. 😢

I've emailed my sister to text my daughter. My sister is unlikely to get the email until tomorrow, but will hopefully do it immediately. She realises how cut off I am up here. For what it's worth, I rarely worry about being out of contact.😊 Mostly I'm sad as i do most of my work on the phone. This tablet is very old and slow and has a badly cracked screen. The keyboard doesn't work too well either. Perhaps the gods are telling me to get off the internet. 😎

Just in case parrotandcrow, if you can invest in some cheapo phone and keep it in the drawer, even a second hand one. That way you have a backup for texts if it happens again.

Get an original Nokia 3310, Maggie! I've dropped mine many times over the years since 2002; and it's still going strong. (Never dropped it in the bath, though, that would probably finish it!).

My phone is made by caterpillar and is of the indestructable kind. pretty much bomb proof. It has fallen in rivers, fallen from high up trees, and had rocks fall on it and is completely fine in a dusty work environment as is sealed off completely. It does not have a wifi option, but I can use my laptop for that as and when in wifi hotspots. Just texts is pretty much all I want my phone for and a morning alarm. The torch is pretty decent too :-)

Have been to the town of rieupeyreux this morning and done my shopping,filled up with diesel and washed the van. Just cut up some wood and now off to work to do a couple of mixes and some pointing. After a late night with the rugby last night I am happy to do things in my own time today. Its great both being the boss and having chilled out clients :-)

Happy weekend all! How are you? Today, I’ve just had leftover pizza with lemon iced tea for lunch. Tonight, just playing some games on my Switch before lulling myself to sleep.

Yo sup there all man! How are you today? Today, I’ve just had leftover pizza with lemon iced tea for lunch again. Tonight, just enjoying my usual TV show before hitting the bed.

Treated myself to just a half day of pointing which is great. 5 hours of work in lovely weather and I feel like I have had the best of the weekend with a bit of chill time and some money making productivity :-) Hardly feel like I have worked at all which is nice ! Sort some food out shortly then light fire to heat up water for wash and shave then settle in with a film.
I hope that you have all had a nice sunday too xxxx
