RE: You just do this...It's easy

"It has a cable in the box," she said. "Have you got the charger from your old S20?" She said the last with this cute little Smurf-pixie smile which levelled out my incredulity.

My response to that question would depend strongly on which side of the bed I woke up on... but I can only imagine me saying:

"Oh, so I guess I'll need my old charger after I securely attach that new one to your neck, right?"


Remember these original Nokia mobile phones with immortal batteries? (when mobile phones were simple and straightforward?)
a

I've owned about 5 of those in the past...I had one stolen off my desk in the early 2000s...I was proper annoyed for a long time when I discovered who the thief was...the barefaced thief kept smiling and chatting with me daily, but I never got it back.

I had battery problems with all my Samsung phones...I hate gadgets, and it pains me deeply to fork out cash to buy them.

I wish that you will enjoy your new purchase and marvel everyday that it is the best phone that you've ever had. AMEN!


Btw Galen, I really like that painting in the background. It looks like a dutch barge?

The old-school phone batteries used to go for days! Alas, when the smart phone came along batteries began to struggle. I hope this one goes ok. I'd hate to have to get another anytime soon.

That painting is of a couple tug boats here in South Australia. It's acrylic on canvas and measures about 1.5m square. My dad painted it. Looks better in real life, but here's a snap I just took. I'm fortunate to have it hanging on one of my walls.

Your dad painted that?

Wow! that's awesome.

Thanks for sharing a better image of it. I could only glimpse it from the first photo, but this is spectacular 😍

I bet it's a treasured piece of yours.

He was an artist. I've shared some of his works before. Yeah, I have a few and treasure them.

So, were you the main inheritor of your dad's talent?

Haha, nope. Not in art anyway. I play music and do other things. No artistic skills at all. 😳

Oh, you play music! 😁... As in an instrument? Or, are you into more technical (hands-on) things like operating a CD player, or shuffling music on Spotify?

Nah, actually started playing the piano before so was 5, did all my grades to level 7 so can teach. Played the trumpet in a jazz band and the bass guitar as well, the latter not so well though. Lol. Enough to get by.

This is a painting? HOLYYY. Looks more like a picture that was later edited to look like a painting. The details though, amazing work.

It surely is a painting. My dad had some skill.

My dad had some skill.

Without a doubt. 🥃♥️
