We spent most of yesterday telling ourselves it wasn't Saturday, but only really believed it when today's Indy cost £1.60 for the Saturday edition. It's been that sort of week. We've not stirred out much, apart from an amble in beautiful sunshine down to the village to get some folding stuff, having spent all that I had on meat and veg and olives and cheese yesterday.
Just as well we went early, it's really clouded over and cooled down now. Sheila continues to struggle with sorting the new bank account out, and I've been catching up with stuff on the web.
The new phone duly arrived with Elanor yesterday, but I've not commissioned it yet until I've seen the confirmation letter from 3. Not that I'm a paranoid, cynical, distrusting type, you understand, but I want to be sure the deal is what the nice man on the phone said it would be before doing anything that would prevent me from sending the whole lot back if necessary.
The phone looks OK, a Samsung Galaxy Europa, the baby one of the set. Not much good for web browsing, the screen's too small, but otherwise a fully functioning Android phone with WiFi and GPS would you believe. Not bad for £10 pm.
Other than that, we've been lurking indoors, doing the crossword, reading the paper, watching out for Takey Tezey turning up, you know how it is. (Yes, Heth, I know it's too soon, and you've had your own phone related grief to deal with, but it makes for something to look out for.)
Soup and stew tonight, methinks, to feed us up ready for the onslaught tomorrow, when Graeme comes over with the grandkids for the day, and Elanor will hopefully drop in as well.
Sally's doing her first agility competition today, so we're just waiting to hear if she was a star or the comic turn. Knowing Sal, it could easily be either.

I suspect you can use the Galaxy Europa as a wireless router!

Yes you can, but the T-mobile Wireless Pointer is doing really well in that regard, and the T-mobile sig is better than the 3 one here.
I'm waiting for BPC to tell me if they've an adapter for the Europa; it would mean drilling a hole in the back, as with other Galaxies.
Cheers

Hi Bruce & Sheila,
So sorry I've only just got round to sending you a personal message! Looked at my inbox this morning & there's 136 blog posts in there waiting to be read. If you've been following the blog, you'll know all about the (not) fun / games / chaos we've been having!
But the worst is over now, we've managed to co-ordinate things. And we'll be arriving at Mercia about 8am on Tues 6th. Well we'll be there anyway - even if the boat isn't...
Glad you're enjoying your walks & the fact that you feel happy with your decision to stay, not just for winter..
Anyway, our mooring is on Pier M, or "Moorhen Pontoon" well it's better than Duck Pontoon I suppose lol
See ya soon
H
