We of course never read our iphones when others are talking to us. Unless we're checking the weather of course. Or looking at cinema times. Or checking our running stats. Or seeing if our baby is still awful on the awful baby app. Or looking for pokemon.
Apart from all those times, we NEVER do it.

I've been catching up here (not looking for Pokemon--my phone isn't smart enough to do that). I keep looking at the article about the Royals visiting Orkney. People used to tell my mom that she looked a lot like Queen Elizabeth. She sure did! It's kind of spooky, in a way.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the posts, and been sad for you over the loss of friends. Had a couple of laughs, and agreed that talking on the phone can be a challenge. So, again, thanks for this blog. It brightens my day, every time I come here.
Sue.
Thank you Sue. Nice to see you on here again.
