That is both awesome and sucky Rhythm, most phones after being dropped on the floor, let alone being dropped in water. Glad it's working still though some phones are really more resilliant than others.Quote:

We are soon to go on a holiday driving around southern Ireland but we were not keen on one of the places that our holiday organiser had chosen for us to stay, so yesterday we asked him to change it if he could. Today he informed us that he had found somewhere that would suit us better. That was an understatement. He had booked us a four-poster bedroom in the 17th century waterside castle at Castletownshend for the same price as the original lodgings. We are extremely pleased about this.
The castle at Castletownshend was unsurprisingly the home of the Townshend family and they still own it eleven generations later. More interesting to my angel and myself, and maybe to other WF members, is that the village there is where the writers of the classic Anglo-Irish stories about The Irish R.M. lived. These authors were two women writing at the very end of the nineteenth century. My angel has a copy of the complete stories and we also have DVDs of the TV series of the same name based on them.
If you haven't encountered The Irish R.M. stories by Somerville and Ross you are missing out on some very entertaining writing. They are out of copyright and easily available on the Internet now apparently. By the way, R.M. stands for resident magistrate. In the stories this Englishman has to attempt to lay down the law to the Irish locals as best he can, but it is never easy and their own perceptions of justice tend to prevail.
I laundered my old LG phone and all it needed was a new battery so yeah!Quote:

TMW I learn something new in my writing that I kind of wish I knew from the beginning. :P
Dear Self:
It’s OK to space things out in your book. Opening Chapter One with Mishu’s birth, then a sudden timeskip to a Blessing, then another timeskip to a gigantic character-altering event miiiight be a bit too much to chew. :P
It’s OK to space things out. Really, it is.
my weekend disappeared ... between training yesterday and the resulting compression of weekend activities into one day -- it's gone. I did write (and post a draft of) a piece but dayum, I need another day.
So far so good. Very hot and humid today. Fans in the
bus help but it’s still pretty hot.
These next seven weeks doing special-ed summer
school. A couple kids I had during the year and have
their own playlist on my ipad. Mikey loves the Beatles,
Kathleen loves Taylor Swift and I throw in a little
Bob James, Eddie Vedder, and a dash of Wes
Montgomery. I keep it eclectic but calm.
No squealing guitar work or punk. Many kids have
sensitive hearing. Some are singers or hummers and
they all love the music. If they’re smiling, I’m smiling.
Hello from America. https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e.../1/16/2764.png Just wanted to remind my non-American friends that you are all beautiful and special, and I love you very, very much.
I have a poorly toe. Why is it my poorly toe is the only one that attracts dropped items or uneven flooring derived stubbing?
So apparently my dad was at a bar last night and he saw a poor guy getting stabbed in the neck 8 times just two feet away from him. The perp got away. https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...1/16/1f61e.png�� My dad and the others are safe, the victim is in the hospital but I’m not sure if he’ll make it.
Damn...
