Where has this week gone, I ask myself. I haven't written anything for the last few days. I haven't been feeling awfully bright, so haven't really been anywhere, done anything, nothing exciting anyway.
Went to the hospital this morning, then had lunch with Bill. We talked - among other things - about paper napkins and transport cafes; loved ones out there will remember how Grandad abhorred paper napkins, I was telling Bill he would never dine in a restaurant that used them Bill had never heard of transport cafes, they are called 'truck stops' here, so we both added to our English/American vocabulary today.
I have a cell phone dilemma. Last time I looked - like yesterday - I had about $44 in credit on my cell phone, but today it disappeared. I just have a very basic cell phone, in case of emergency, if I break down and need to call roadside assistance, for example. With a desktop pc, two laptops and an i-Pad I don't need a fancy phone with apps on, do I. No, of course I don't. There - I've just talked myself out of getting one. For a little while I was tempted, and wavering. But I have an appointment in the morning at the cell phone shop to buy more minutes (honestly, I kid you not, you need appointments in this country if you go into a cell phone shop, you are met at the door and given an appointment to see a sales assistant, so I've got one at 10 in the morning. It was 45 minutes to closing time when I was there - there were seven people in front of me, and the sales staff can't leave until everyone with appointments is served, so I thought I'd do the decent thing.
And I've got all night to decide how many minutes I need. Last time I bought $100 worth which lasts a year, and that is what has just expired, leaving $44 unused - to my chagrin.
