Oddly enough, my newest phone is an old phone; not to be confused with the new Smart phone, which is brand new but doesn’t take such good photographs as my old phone (the one that became terminally ill) and which I have missed terribly. Hence, Chris went to Ebay and bought me another mobile, just like my old one, that I can use specifically as a camera; of course, I had to put a few pounds on it so now I’m available on two mobiles and the house-phone – I’ve never been so popular! Not that anyone ever calls me… but I shall be ready when they do.

Back to my newest, but relatively old phone “in new condition” (I expect it’s a year old – poor old thing). It arrived in the post yesterday morning but I couldn’t test it until today because the battery was flat and it didn’t have a sim card; the new old phone did, however, have an STD card, which had about twenty photographs on it. At first I wasn’t sure if it was ethical to look at a stranger’s photographs and I felt a bit funny checking; but my doubts disappeared, and I was soon smiling, when I realised that the former owner of my new phone is a little girl. I deleted all the blurry ones and family ones but I’ve saved a handful to show you…

And still on the subject of phones, we saw those beautiful owls again – Dusk the European Eagle Owl and Spirit the Barn Owl – at Trago Mills; one of the owners of Silverwings Falconry gave me his card – his name is Pete Fone. Now I call that a coincidence.
