A Hint Of "Cool"

We have enjoyed top temperatures of around 30° the last few days.

There is a slight southerly blowing and it has just a hint of 'cool' about it.  However when standing in the sun you can begin to feel the heat pounding down.  It is only another week or so till when the sun reaches its southern most point before retreating to the north again.

The sun is almost as close to directly overhead as it gets here.

Trish went and bought a Sim Card Adapter kit from a Phone Repair place at the local shopping centre on Friday.  The kit was primarily aimed at the Apple mobile phone market as those phones can take some tricky variations of sim card.  The 'new' phone takes a normal sim card, her previous phone took a mini sized sim card and is smaller.

The sim card slotted into the adapter nicely and then into the phone easily.  The phone then connected to the local mobile phone network with out any hassles. Remember the phone only cost AUD$180 and will very successfully allow her to send and receive texts, make and receive calls, attend to her GMail and allow her to follow her Facebook page.

Then there will be the odd game or two she can play on it and all on a 5.5" screen, a little bigger than what she was used to but has become quickly adapted to.

The photo above was taken with the phone and is certainly not 'camera' quality but is more than acceptable for what we want.

It is a 4G phone as well.  If it lasts a couple of years then great.  Then she will have to buy another new one won't she?  Her previous phone was beginning to chew through the battery and seemed to go 'flat' in less than a day.  A couple of the buttons failed at times as well.  They worked OK when I used them but Trish was not totally confident when using it.

All in all it was a good little buy.

After we return from Melbourne I will send away for a replacement battery for the old phone.  That will then become a 'spare' for just in case!

Trish is into Brisbane today with Kathryn (our Chiropractor) to go to the theatre.  I will sit at home and watch the golf from the Gold Coast.
