It's Nice to Be Appreciated

Welcome to "Smile it's Friday" which I'm now hosting here every Friday instead of over at Badger Boo's. 

Himself  and I had a little trip into Guildford this week to attend a presentation for local St John members. Himself was being awarded a certificate for doing over 1000 hours volunteering as a Community First Responder, which is an outstanding number of hours considering his own medical problems in the past year. 

Such a selfless person, willing to do so much for others, even when I'm moaning at him to stop and take it easy.

You may remember we attended a presentation in Redhill for his 500 hour certificate last year, and if your maths is any good that's over 1500 hours of volunteering whilst working full time in London.

Where he finds the energy from I have no idea! 

Things are good here I'm slowly but surely getting into a routine, I have a few Craft Fairs booked and a couple of commissions I'm working on at the moment, this blog isn't about my crafts so if you want to know more then follow this link.

 It's time to head to the allotment and pick the apples that are still left on the tree after yesterdays wind and checking the windfalls for damage, I may well have some spare apples soon for people local enough to collect them from me.

My New Phone

Not sure what came over me, the other weekend, I dragged Himself into the Vodafone shop and decided I wanted a new phone, as the contract had run out on my old one a few years ago, and the battery is always letting me down, so I have to carry my old Nokia X6 and my sons old iPhone all the time, to ensure that I have a fully charged phone should I ever need to make an emergency call.

So I'm now the proud owner of a HTC One S. I've no idea how it works yet, but gave the camera a quick go and I love the quality of the picture (for a phone that is). 

Zoomed in as much as camera will go,

It even lets me crop pictures, don't you just hate it when something creeps into shot, like that red car!!!

It does so many different things, most of which I will never, ever use. My mobile phone is only ever used to make phone calls (shock horror) and take pictures, I have no need of anything else. I like being stuck in the past, but can appreciate the benefits of technology. 

Here are a few random shots I've taken with it.

Not an appropriate way to display the Union Jack!!! The Square, Guildford

Fantastic window display in Godalming Shoe Shop, Godalming
I love it

Obviously it makes good phone calls too, it came in very useful for when Himself was in hospital as I finally learnt how to send texts, and we were in constant contact, which was nice.
