Today, hangers on the back of an hotel room door.
Every day something different.

SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.

Lifehacker is always a good source of info for these things.

Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.

Pentecost

Babies were everywhere. We had an honoured friend – one of the Nigerian bishops visiting and blessing us. Very full church. Candles…
