Saturday…reprise

Posted by Shirley Anne on October 17, 2009

So far things are going well. I had my hands-free system checked and it is alright. However it seems that my cellphone is the problem. The guy suggests I connect to the Internet and download an update to my phone. Good idea I thought and I have the connecting lead but cannot locate the CD that came with the phone! As it happens though I may be entitled to a new phone as I have a line rental. My phone company gives me the opportunity for an upgrade every eighteen months and as I declined their last offer I feel sure I would get a new phone. If not I can always buy one! Which ever way I decide to go hopefully the problem will be solved. It seems that technology and me are not compatable…LOL. Today I tried putting my computer on standby but a recent automatic Microsoft update is now preventing that from happening. Consequently I have to shut the computer down completely after every session. No problem with that except it takes forever to reboot! How did we manage before the advent of computers and cellphones? Anyhow I am dressed to go out for an early evening meal with my guest and then have a few drinkypoos later. Have a nice weekend everybody!

Saturdays.

Posted by Shirley Anne on October 17, 2009

Saturdays are for some a day of rest, a holy day, a day for football, rugby, golf and any other sport you can think of. It is a day for mowing the lawn, for gardening, for decorating, for painting the town red but usually it marks the end of the general working week, or does it? These days we live in a world of 24/7 and 7/7, no day it seems is special any longer. Traditionally in the western world, Sunday has been a religious day and the main day for resting but Saturday has always marked the end of the working week for the majority. People can please themselves on a Saturday and do whatever their hearts dictate. For myself it might mean going shopping or going to the pub and very occasionally, working. Today I decided to have one of those rare lie-ins in bed and had a late breakfast or early lunch. In the early afternoon I am having the ‘hands-free’ system in my vehicle checking which shouldn’t take too long and then later in the afternoon I have decided to ‘dine out’. Unusual for me to do that on a weekend unless it is a special occasion but today I am bucking the trend and doing something different. I might make a habit of doing something different on my weekends, who knows? Anyway I like my Saturdays and my Sundays too when I can please myself and not have to work. What will your Saturday bring for you?
