Working Wednesday

The time has come. I've been putting it off for too long. Yes, you've guessed it. It's time to replace my smartphone. My current phone, a Huawei smartphone, is on its' last leg with lots of gremlins having snuck it!. I'm going to get a Samsung Galaxy A15. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer my contact from my old to my new phone, but I don't think I need to worry. Only around 10 of my contacts are important. The other 60 or so are not. I'm ordering the phone tomorrow (Thursday 17/10/24) for delivery Fri/Sat. I'm keeping my number and SIM card provider, Lebara. I only pay £5 a month.

Meanwhile, Kaira continues to do well and is settling in nervously but nicely. She's quite happy! I'm going to 'Pine Ridge Dog Sanctuary' (who rescued Kaira) tomorrow afternoon to interview and photograph for a 800-1,200 word article about them for 'Dogs Today' magazine. The unusual 'hook' of the story is that they rescue many their dogs from Spain. I'll update you soon.
