The rains are here

Warning  a long post 

​this morning we woke to the sound of rain. Since I’ve not been sleeping lately, 

Due to the inability to breath,I didn’t hear it rain during the night, but it had rained quite a bit.

Because we had prepped for it, the fire lighting as easy as lighting a match, and the logs are all dry.

When I received the new iPad I successfully transferred all the information from the old to the new 

It was a little different to the process most people use. Because it was so old  the two versions didn’t “ talk” to

Each other. I had to do it all on from the cloud  

The only thing I couldn’t do is transfer the SIM card account 

There was a section to do it, but again  they didn’t talk to each other  

So I had to go into the shop  

The lovely young people were very nice said that they could do it in a second 

They went into the iPad and found the same section.  They asked me what version iPad did I have 

I don’t know  it’s ten years old  

At that point they looked at me  closed down the old tablet and got onto their computer 

Unfortunately, they had just had a whole new system put into their computers and it was being glitchy

Of course it was.  

Three young people tried to log on but were unable too 

The fourth person got in. Success 

After getting into our carriers app, the second problem happened 

We have more than just my iPad on a phone network  

Which one of the numbers was mine  

There is nothing saying who it belongs to, as the whole thing is under one umbrella 

Named both hubby and me together 

More searching 

More troubles getting into the different area of the website 

But finally, success 

They found which number belonged to me 

We then wrote it down and I was told that it might be a good idea to 

Add that number into my phone   

I did that the second I got home  

I waited an hour before trying to activate the new sim

And success  I did it  

It was a tad anxious for me, mainly because I felt like I was 

Being a huge pain to the people at the shop,  but they were all so very nice and assured me 

That it was actually a great learning experience. That made me feel better,  bless them 

The lovely thing was, that every person who got ropped into helping 

Made a comment about the cover I made. Each and every one loved it  

That really made me feel better.  I might be old and not so tech savvy, but I can sew 

When I finally had it all sorted, and  nice cup of tea after.  I sat down to work on the EPP.

I finished sewing along the row I had started and then placed it on the floor to see how I can 

Turn it into a square 

I laid it flat and turned round to straighten the other side.  When I turned around 

Quality control had parked herself right on the corner 

She kept a close eye on what I was doing  

I marked the corners on the long sides of the quilt top,

Then counted how many hexies I had to sew to make the shorter side the same 

Length, 

I then marked the hexi at the end so that I know how many rows I have sewn quickly without having to 

Count from the start again 

Both sides need sixteen more rows to bring it all into the equal rectangle 

That’s pretty much what I’ll be doing the rest of the day  

Hubby is inside watching the football, the fire is going, and all is well in our little world  

I’m betting it’s going to be many, many years, before I purchase another iPad or phone

It’s just too stressful for this old crone
