Time to Blog

I haven't blogged for some time. Is it life in general or has Facebook taken over? I haven't had time nor opportunity for photography lately and I like to include a photo with my blog. In fact photography has been one activity that has taken my time. On the 20th September I did a wedding photo shoot and have given a lot of time to producing the album proofs, uploading to Google, preparing a DVD slide show and a Mypublisher photo book.

Last week was partly taken up with Joni leaving for Uni. Surprisingly we were able to take his stuff in one car load. He drove one way. He is now off my insurance. The two events are not linked.

His accommodation at Keele is in a flat with rooms for eight students. There are four on the lower floor. Kitchen and bathrooms are at the middle level and Joni is in room at the top. He should be comfortable for his third year.

For the passed couple of weeks my phone charger was on the blink and gave out on Wednesday so I went of in search of a new charger. (I have to be clear about this as I recall that my second headteacher compained that his car head gasket was blowing and he was off to get a new one. He returned with a new car.)

Along the high street I went. No "They don't sell the charger for your phone." "How about a new mobile?" The phone I chose had £10 of credit and Virgin Media gave me £10 of calls. So, free phone. How cool is that?

We plan to visit Joe in York on Sunday.
