I can only
apologise for the two week break in my posts but I have been a victim
of first world problems! With my broken iPhone, I’ve been missing
being connected to friends, family and the wider world (and my
games). I've been plodding along with an ancient pay as you go phone
that belonged to my mum for calls and texts, but I’ve had no
credit. However a few days ago our house internet was being changed
by our landlord and cut me off from everyone! I have to confess that
I hated every second of no internet access, but it has given me time
to think.
We really are
all plugged in to the internet. Even those of us who profess to be
able to live without it have problems. I rely on search engines and
wikipedia for a lot of my random thoughts and questions- having to
call my husband to ask him for a temperature conversion was a pretty
low point for me as was realising that I couldn't watch the season 4
finale of the Walking Dead! It's also impacted my social and family
life and made it difficult for me to promote my business. Online
craft selling is difficult when you can't get online! (The craft side
of my work can be found at http://www.therainbowattic.co.uk
)
No iPhone has
been a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I haven't spent ages
playing Hayday and Candy Crush. But on the other, I haven't been able
to phone or text people when I have felt lonely and I have missed my
camera immensely. I definitely need to get a decent stand alone
camera, for those times when my phone is misbehaving. So there you
have it, the ramble leading to my confession.
My name
is Laura and I am an internet junkie.
