iphone antics

I have an iphone and just love it. We were able to upgrade last year for free , so I went from what was essentially a 2g cell phone with no computer type capabilities, to the iphone which is like a mini computer/ gaming device, phone, etc etc…

I also have an ipad which is terrific, but for travel and convenience, the iphone is the best.

When we were on holiday , one night about 2 o clock in the morning, I was awoken by a, “CLANG!!!”

It sounded like a very loud bell and in my stupour, I though it was our noisy neighbour coming home and being inconsiderate by letting her clock chime loudly outside our door…lol I lay there, and listened to the “clang” sound over and over, and thought, “wow, how very rude”…lol

Now, yesterday, I was in our kitchen and hear the same sound again. “CLANG”!!!!! “CLANG”!!!! “CLANG”!!!

It sounded very close. I thought that it was the stove;  looked at it, then at the microwave..both were not flashing their displays or acting strangely. I looked at the house phone; again nothing…

Then I thought to look at my iphone which was in my pocket, as I was expecting a call. Sure enough, there was text…(can you tell that I NEVER text)

So we had a good laugh about me freaking out so many weeks before…(AND I IMMEDIATELY  turned off the default noise; lol)

happenings

So the main thing that has just happened in my life is that a friend from high school(I mean, we had been friends since then) passed away suddenly. She was 56.

It was a shock for everyone that knew her, as apparently, according to her boyfriend, she had not been ill .

HOWEVER I was talking to a mutual friend today and it seemed that our friend had not been to a doctor for,”years” as , ” why go, if nothing wrong”.

But you know, she had been under a tremendous amount of stress so it is anyone’s call as to reason.

It could have been anything from clogged arteries, to even diabetes, or a stroke.

SAD.

This is the first of my friends to pass away; funny how we all assumed that we would totter in old age together… we used to joke about walking along with our zimmer frames(walkers) and be crochety old things(as is ones’ right  once old age has been reached!

I have made an appointment to get checked, even though I always have low blood pressure, have no history of illness, in fact come from a line of long lived relatives.

I think one owes it to oneself AND to one’s partner or loved ones to take care of such things..

From our recent Hawaii holiday

We were in Hawaii in February and March; had, as always, a great low key and relaxing stay. We have been going for so many years that truly, we feel like locals. We don’t do any tourist stuff but simply have early walks, then beach mornings, and lazy afternoons…

Oh yes, and shopping of course; lots of looking and looking but not really purchasing anything; lol

This photo was taken on one of our early morning walks…

I am here!

I am glad I didn’t delete this blog…am indeed here but will be altering the look and accessibility…Teeni, I am adding you back to my blogroll!
