Civilisation!

Today I visited civilisation (also known as Glasgow). I spent the day wandering round the city centre and then bought a new mobile phone. This one is on Vodafone so it works up here. I’ll cancel my Cellnet one sometime soon. The phone I bought is a Nokia 7650 with a camera, massive screen, and all sorts of gubbins. I’m about to see if this PC has realised I enabled its IR port and then I’ll try and make my PC talk to the phone.

I also have GPRS for faster internet access. Or at least that’s what I hope. I may have to get a modem plugged into my PC at home as it’s cheaper to phone a landline than an 0845 number.

I also went to the Glasgow Science Centre which was fun, and the SECC to visit some outdoor exhibition which was full of caravans and wasn’t that thrilling. I did however buy some neoprene boots and gloves. After yesterday’s walk up a river where my feet went totally numb and I managed to lose a shoe I think I bought the right things. Fortunately my feet were so numb I could walk over stones without noticing.
