New phone for Clare

A dull cloudy day, toasted waffles for breakfast. Yesterday's covid jab is producing its reaction today, not severe, but enough to make me feel slightly groggy with muscle aches. Not enough to lay me low, but an effort to stay active throughout the day.

Clare's phone screen was displaying signs of degradation as a result of being dropped down the toilet a couple of weeks ago. We went into town and visited John Lewis' tech' department to buy her a bargain Moto G17 for a hundred quid. Then we tracked down a pair of pearl earrings she fancied for her birthday. This was the first occasion we've had to hunt for them since then. After a bowl of soup with sourdough toast for lunch, we headed for home and a snooze. 

Our neighbour across the street needed help re-setting her clocks to GMT so I went over and sorted them out. She'd just had her door lock changed to make it simpler to open, but getting used to a new routine was proving somewhat difficult, and she had to repeat it many times to get the hang of it. The perils of failing memory, sad to say.

I went out for my daily walk at five and return just after sunset. Setting up Clare's new phone after it had charged took a while, but nothing went astray in the process. Now she has to get used to the different look and feel of a new user interface, and she's not pleased about it.

After supper we watched an old episode of 'All Creatures Great and Small' and 'The Repair Shop', for lack of anything better to do. Clocks back, then bed.
