have spent the last hour or so trying to record my iPhone screen so that I can show the steps necessary to complete a particularly task… interesting learning process…

sounds really simple, except for when you go too fast, or slow… or someone sends you a text, or Twitter let’s you know someone is tweeting after a long time… all in the middle of the recording…

then, after all that, when I emailed it, the video was a bit fuzzy…

but, I think I’ve got it;-)…

this afternoon I spent half an hour talking with a few people at the phone company…

we have been customers for forty-eight years and use all of the services that they provide…

the last bill was ridiculous, especially for one person…

when I was travelling in April I had added unlimited calling to my cell phone so I wanted to have that taken off…

while I was talking with Ella she found things we could change that would bring my bill down by around $30 per month…

then she put me on the line with Melanie to see if they could do anything to reward me for being a loyal customer…

she found a few items and my bill will be reduced by over $75 for the next six months…

seems to me they might consider a permanent reduction, but for now I have marked my calendar and will call them again in six months… rather frustrating that I have to be on top of this all the time…

I must say the two women I spoke with were very helpful…

so far… we’ve been to the pool and done some office work…

we have been to a lot of volleyball… three games in fact… two for our boys and one of the girls’ games…

had some fun with my tripod and the new tiny holder for my iPhone…

eaten a lot of food… not quite as well rounded meals as usual…

and driven back and forth, and around the town quite a bit… I believe we passed Brandon University at least four times, lol…

but I did get two Christmas presents:-)…

although we ate out for each meal, we had supper in our room as we were worn out…

everyone is tired, but it was a good day…

been doing a bit of reading on taking better photos with my iPhone…

today I spent some time working on a reflection picture… here’s one of the pictures that came out fairly well… maybe not as dark as it should have been…

then it was out and about for lunch and our play at PTE…

lunch was a lovely treat…salad rolls and a noodle bowl at Nhu Quynh on Ellice… delicious, and I even managed to bring some home for tomorrow…

the Christmas decorations at Portage Place were pretty, so I took a few pictures… then on to the play… the set was made up of suitcases… very cool…

had some of a dark chocolate Callebaut bar... delicious…

then home for a nap… was up very early this morning…

stayed home to rest and recover from this silly cold and plugged ear…

looking out the bedroom window I noticed a wasp on the outside… tried to get a picture but that apparently scared it…

I went outside once to take a few pictures of the hibiscus and discovered another wasp on it…

happy with the pictures…

did eventually get one of the hibiscus flower, lol…

well, today I’ve travelled in cars, planes, boats and on foot… all of it very good…

on my flight I watched a movie through WestJet Connect… first time I’ve used Connect and also the first time I’ve watched a movie on my phone… sadly the flight ended before the movie… apparently you can purchase internet access… might have to try that another time…

was picked up at the airport and we went to visit all the Ottawa signs and in the process wandered through Byward Market… just love how beautifully the produce is set out…

first actual stop was for a Beavertail… we shared a garlic and cheese one… yum…

then stopped and took pictures at every Ottawa sign downtown, lol…

walked over the bridge to see MosaiCanada which was very cool…

I will post more pictures of that later…

took a water taxi back to the Locks and walked along Sparks Street till we came across Bier Markt where we enjoyed a delicious dinner of mussels, duck wings and a Brussels sprout and kale salad…

back home for tea and a sliver of Baked Expectations Deadly Chocolate Mousse which I brought from Winnipeg…

now to bed…

wonderful day…

lunch out with a friend… went to The Forks…


ordered a tasty lunch… 


caught up on our lives and discussed a project we are working on together… this is great because we haven’t worked together on anything for quite a while…

and then tonight I spent time with two wonderful women working on the same project… we had laptops, iPhones and telephones to get us through the meeting, lol…


so much more fun to work with others on any project…

pretty special day…

today I stopped in at the Apple Store on my way home from work…

for the last few days Siri has just started to talk even though I am not touching the phone… bit creepy actually…

I’d also had a strange message on the screen saying that Apple had found some viruses… 

right away I closed all the apps on the phone, but between that and the Siri chats, felt like maybe I should get it checked out…

got in to see someone at the Store within minutes and they ran a few diagnostics and it appears the phone is fine… they did wonder if I might be saying something that sounds like Hey Siri which would then make her respond… 

they also suggested turning the phone off every day so it could have a rest;-)… didn’t know it needed breaks too, lol…

then I found the watch repair section at Sears and finally got the links taken out of the purple band for my Charge 2…

came out very nice… now I have 3 choices for bracelets to wear with it;-)…

been working with a lot of difficult technology issues over the last few weeks…

makes me happy when my own technology is working well, lol…

when I was in Atlanta with my daughter in June she had this cool gadget that would let you upload photos from your camera directly onto you iPhone… as soon as I got home I picked one up at the Apple Store and carry it with me all the time, along with my camera…

I’ve also been starting to use eTransfers… my credit union has just started to take them… my kids and friends are starting to send me money and I even know how to send it to others, lol… it is very cool…  

a young  friend commented on how well my big girl pants are fitting when we discussed a recent eTransfer, lol… she is a technophile as well…
