In awe of technology

Did I mention I love my i phone?

OK - I did.

Well I love it even more now.

I had a technical problem with it not being able to use the wireless connection at home and we tried everything possible to fix it. It could connect tot eh network but then wouldn't work. It wasn't the end fo the world as I have free 3G browsing anyway but it was irritating. Well Nij fixed it last night - yey.

Then today I said 'I wonder what else I can get for the phone' and I thought of Virgin media (our phone, tv, internet etc is all Virgin, so I searched and found the virgin media ap. As I was locating it Nij said, jokingly, its a shame you can use the phone to set the recorder when we are away.

And .... yup .... you can.

I can look at what is coming on TV through the phone and then use it to set the TiVo box up to record. How amazing is that. I LOVE it.

So my photo of the day is my i phone with the Virgin Media ap visible.

 
I have done a little scrapping today and made the title page for the Austria album. I usually don't make the title page until I get into an album but I just fancied something pink and pretty and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Plus I only bought the pink flower and butterfly die cuts yesterday and I was keen to use them.

The letters are glitter thickers and there is lots of glitter in the form of stickles added to the flowers, though you cannot really see it on the scan.

The photo was taken at Lake Achensee.

Today I am thankful for

• cool aps to make life easier
• a mended outside light - the electrician has just gone

 And thank you for the great tip yesterday - I LOVE the idea of a 'for now' drawer or even better a 'for now' room. Such a great idea.

And some amazing pictures to share that came in an e mail. Too many for one day so I will add more tomorrow.

Thor's Well a/k/a "the gates of the dungeon" on Cape Perpetua, Oregon. At moderate tide and strong surf, flowing water creates a fantastic landscape

I love my iphone a little more every day. I think love for it may know no bounds :)

Ooh, that's clever about your i-phone!

Lake Achensee... I have wanted to go there ever since discovering the Chalet School story books when I was a little girl. Lucky you! Love the cover page - very pretty.

The photos... wow!

Hahahaha! A "for now" room! Hee! Hee!
My scrapbook room became the for now room at one time. Got so bad, I couldn't find anything--whether it was sb related or not. :-( Took a while to get the room back in shape! LOL!
I can't allow myself to have a "for now" room anymore, because it pretty much becomes a "not right now" room ;-)
