What a day… is it Wednesday yet??? I was up like a manic thing today, I seem to have found the motivation I was looking for yesterday! Out in the garden (blue sky, sunshine and a bitterly cold breeze!) in my workout stuff and walked about to RH Fitness’ Walkie Talkie where a lovely girl called Baking El told us the difference between Slimming world and the RH Fitness calorie deficit. So you have to exercise more than you eat and it should be more sustainable in the longer term. By 7.30am I’ve already done more than 3.5k steps!!
The home button on my iPhone just stopped working…. nothing would shift it. Given I’ve just had the screen replaced the other day I’d be forgiven for thinking it was something to do with that??! So I called iBitz in Johnstone and he gave me an appointment at 12.30. So….. I have no phone…. what to do?!?! I walked Calaidh… no pics but you e seen millions so I need you to use your imagination here!!
I decided to start setting up and Overland & Borders web page. Of course…. on the laptop. So it’s very much a work in progress just now but I’m on it. I’d said yesterday about struggling to access my iCloud photos on my Microsoft laptop as they don’t make that kinda thing easy…. so the web page had some old pics until I can get that sorted. did I mention I have no working phone????????!! 🤯🤬😤🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Up to the shop for 12.30 and it does not look good…… he is very silent and works on the phone right in front of me. I can tell he has no idea what’s wrong. Eventually he tries a brand new screen and the home button still doesn’t work. He says it’s common that they fail on iPhone 7. So to be fair, he sets me up with a screen home button but I’ll never have Touch ID again. I guess I’ll get over it.
When I get home we go online to see what else we can try to fix my perfect home button that’s not working…. and then the phone just died and won’t switch back on. That is until I’ve posted on FB, called my folks from Craig’s phone and messaged various other people to tell them of the trauma. Claire next door has EXACTLY the same phone sitting in a box in her house. Only then does my iPhone think it’s worth switching back on.
I’m in the process of setting Claire’s up now and working on the old one but I have no idea if this will publish. Bit of a waste of a day but at least we had time to deal with it.
So very sadly it’s now been reported that the UK now has the highest number of deaths of COVID-19 in Europe. This is despite us having been behind European countries and we should have been ahead of the curve to curb out number of deaths weeks before as we learned from Italy and Spain. But we were too slow to react. A huge rise of 693 has taken us to 29,427 and Italy now sit 29,315. Millions of people entered the UK in the 3 months before lockdown but only 273 were quarantined. Airlines are laying off as a result of being grounded for so long. Virgin Atlantic around 3,000… the UK economy is in its deepest decline in living memory. There’s still a lot of change to come.
Not many photos today but no phone means no camera!!
