First cuppa went down well.
Pigeons have cleared the food left out on the bird table.

Morning.
It is grey here and a bit damp. There is a ride planned for this morning and it is going to be a busy day. When I get back I have to have lunch and then take my car out for an MOT.
I don't know what is going on at the moment. I seem to be getting up every 20 minutes in the night to go for a Pee. I'm not drinking too much but I don't want to go the other way and become dehydrated and start those problems all over again.

Good morning from a mostly sunny and much less windy than yesterday Suffolk. Coffee has been had and a load of washing is currently on the go.
I think I'll take advantage of one of the few 'good' days this week to get out for a few hours of fresh air on the bike as there's nothing that needs doing today.

Second cuppa went down well with a slice of toast and margarine.
Window cleaner been.

Lots of tweezers, but it is so jammed in I can't shift it.

What make & model is it?

Seems two favoured methods are to heat a fine needle until red hot, stick it in the SIM card, allow to cool & gently pull the card out.

Alternatively

use a thin plastic card, such as an old credit card cut to size to fit the slot, apply superglue to edge & push on to SIM. Wait for glue to set hard & gently remove.

Here, we have a tag which hangs from the rearview mirror. Blue for permanent, red for temporary.

I do not think we have temporary free "Disabled" parking badges.

All going to plan so far so that's good

Take the phone apart.
Or if it is working do a Google back up.
Then take phone apart, rescue card.
Use the Google process to get old data onto new phone.

How on earth can you take a phone apart? assuming you want it to work afterwards.

Good ideas, but I can't even see the SD card.

That is part of the dilemma.
The phone works, back it up. Find out how to get all your old stuff onto your new phone with your new SIM card.

Or, try gently prising the phone apart. Very fine, surgical equivalent to tyre levers.

Is it worth buying a phone case fixing kit?

Lunchtime stroll completed mostly cloudy sky with a gentle breeze.

Carefully?

Good ideas, but I can't even see the SD card.

Are you actually certain there's one in there & it hasn't sproinged out?

HTH

Planning on a ride after work this evening, keep the routine going. Sky has gone from blue to grey and white, but at least the wind has dropped 🤞
Don't mind a bit of rain while out on the bike, saves me having a shower when I get home
