I had an interesting
phone call - Lewisham police station phoned, asked for me by name,
and proceeded to ask about my step-son. When I told them I didn't
have one they seemed to accept the news, and apologised for
disturbing me. I can't help but wonder what that was all about.
After a quick spot of
brekkie I went over the astro club’s accounts. It’s always worth
doing soon after a club meeting; if only to see how much money we
raked in. We raked in quite a bit last Friday, and having made sure
it all agreed (to the penny) I trotted up to the bank to put
lots of quids into the club's account. I then had a bit of a mooch
around the town to see what was new, and on realising that little had
changed I came home.
“My Boy TM
” came home and gave me a hand getting the compost
bin to the tip: it can be a bit wobbly in the car if I go on my own.
There was a dodgy five minutes when I forgot I still had the roof box
on the car and it hit the height barrier at the tip; but no damage
seems to have been done, for which I am grateful. The box is huge –
how could I have forgotten it was there?
We then took some bits
and bobs from the garden round to the Fudgery, and having retrieved
my hammer (which “My Boy TM ” had
borrowed) I came home and wasted the rest of the afternoon on
silly PC games. I had intended to go fishing, but a combination of
intermittent rain and no-one to keep me company had put paid to that
idea. Which was a shame.
I spent a little while
messing with my new phone this evening. I've merged the duplicate
entries in my contacts list. I've deleted several contacts I don't
want any more. I’ve downloaded an app which tells me how much of my
internet usage and calls I’ve still got left. It's told me about
picture messages I haven't sent. I’ve downloaded “Angry
Birds”. I wonder what other apps might be worth having.
I also played with the
voice recognition software. Rather than typing texts, I can now just
say what I want as a message, and to whom the message should be sent,
and the phone (mostly) does the typing for me. I wonder if I
could save time by doing future blog entries that way.
Talking of phones,
"Daddies Little Angel TM" has
dropped hers down the toilet, and an entertaining five minutes was
spent packing the thing in rice to dry it out...
