New phone incompetence

 

necessitated by a new SIM card which proved my phone was at fault, and trying to set it up and deal with the differences has made me exceedingly bad-tempered.  So I am more grateful than ever for your continued patience and participation and  suggest incompetence vanish cross as words for next week

Panic, rescue, overslept

 Wednesday lunchtime, an aggressive American woman inserted herself between my desktop screen and me and harangued me about some virus, exhorting  me not to turn off my computer but phone a toll-free number to have it all put right. I didn’t, of course and, long story short took my laptop to Currys where an efficient and friendly woman  put it all right, while telling me that phoning that number would’ve resulted in my bank account being emptied. I did ask Terrie to be prepared to post prompt words, but that having been unnecessary, and then me having woken later than usual so not posting this as soon as intended, I think the above could stand instead as words for next week.

 As ever, much thanks to those stalwarts who contributed last week, and I look forward to seeing what you make of the above.

Struggling

What with my mobile unable to either connect with the internet or receive phone calls, and suspecting it’s because I’ve done something stupid with regard to selecting some inappropriate setting, I’m feeling more than ever my lack of technical ability. Needless to say I’m grateful for the entertainment you provided last week. 

Words for  this week echo my current mood : blind finger frustrate.

Not exactly a foxtrot …

 But good to see that initial slow, slow of the start come to life with highly entertaining (and what passes for a full house of posts these days), quick, quicking into double figures – thank you one and all.

Words for next week: hatch toss uncertain
