new phone, new shoes

my old mobile phone recently started to not work properly. the screen started displaying backwards and in a funny language.

it was second hand from a friend who gave it to me about 6 years ago now.

i am not one who enjoys shopping for new technology, and i am also not a huge fan of phones that are phones, tvs, cameras, internet, etc. i just want a phone for texting and calling.

 

reluctantly i went shopping for a new phone. i bought this one. it is a phone with large numbers aimed at the elderly. i liked it well enough and bought it. upon setting it up it turns out that the texting function was poorly designed, and actually painfully to use. so i returned the phone.

this meant i had to go on another shopping trip for a new phone. since my last phone was a nokia i thought i would get a new nokia, because the user logic should be similar.

this is the phone i got. its old school with numbers and not a touch screen. it does have a camera on it, and it can go on the internet, but i don't know how to do that. the texting function is good and it operates in a similar way to my old phone.

 

 so a success. and its blue so it will stand out when i am looking for it. and it didn;t cost me $600 like an iphone.

one thing i don't mind shopping for is shoes.

i got 2 new pairs of el naturistas the other day. a friend of mine owns a shoe 

importing /selling company and she gave them to me at mates rates. 

these lovely red mary jane type shoes

 

and these more everyday slip on shoes. i am ready for the winter weather now.
