I do stuff.

Yesterday I had a bad day- despite the impression of this photograph. I allowed my time to be wasted- not by cats- they were delightful- but by people. Furthermore, in this distracted state I dropped my iPhone and broke it.

For those who are interested this is Fortnum and Mason. Probably the most chrismassy place on earth right now.

My first thought was to buy myself a replacement phone and my second thought was to hesitate. I have an iPad. Most apps run on it. Do I really need an iPhone as well?

Data is cheap in the UK provided the phone is paid for so this is not the major factor. The problem is the capital cost, the heartbreak of dropping it and the ways in which it sucks time. I can use free WiFi in bars and public libraries so I can use the iPad for social media- but not in real time. The only problem is the possibility I may be in a contract I cannot break.

Internet dudes also tell me that the lizard people are using it to track my movements and addict me to dopamine sapping porn. I am not so sure.. but can we be sure of anything right now?

N.B I discover that I am indeed in a contract but I leave my speculations in place as they will be useful to some people. Ho hum.
