@deptfordmarmoset - Please blame it on my foggy brain. I didn't ask how your mother is.

Very feeble and more than a little confused. But no need for another ambulance today. I think she settled down a little knowing that I was there. She seems to be at her lowest around mid-afternoon.

It did change from torrential rain to a bit of minor drizzle so I did get a 24 mile ride.

Steak and kidney pie now in the oven and bottle of Guinness in the fridge

I need to think about buying a new phone. My venerable Galaxy S2 won't run a lot of stuff now, and I'm lucky if the battery doesn't run out in less than a day - and that's just sitting on my desk doing not a lot.

Looking at something used / refurbished as I don't spend my life welded to a phone, but I can't be without one.

Initial poking around seems to point to my original budget of around £80 being way too stingy.

Should get a Motorola moto E or G for that money?

I am alone in the house apart from two of my largest hounds, the french setters are out hunting in the forest which surrounds the house.
It is inky black outside , no light pollution here. Total silence apart from the occasional howl from a setter. There isn't another human being within a couple of km. Solitude and a glass of very good Cognac are just two of the things l enjoy about living here in SW France . I feel very fortunate !
