Who is Antonio?


This morning I got a call from Antonio. It was one of those phone calls when the phone decides of it's own free will to call someone and the person on the other end gets to hear someone walking or something like that.

After a bit of going 'hello? Hello? HELLO?' I hung up and the mystery began. I don't know an Antonio. Most of the people in my phone are named in a way to remind me who they are or where they work so there is Jeff @ The Foppish Times or, Clair The Woo and so on.

I don't have men in my phone as just their name, even my closest friends have some sort of nickname associated with their entry. Antonio just doesn't make sense. If it had been Antonia that would have been logical, it would have been the number of a girl I met at a party who I fancied but a man? Why would I have the phone number of a strange man on my phone?

Speaking of phones I'm not looking forward to changing my phone. My current one is getting a bit wonky from all the times it's been dropped or licked by horses and my contract is about to end. I don't really want to change my phone though, because when the time comes to re-enter everyone on the new phone there won't be much point in transferring the name 'dad' and that's just a little bit sad.

Pocket Logic


Pockets are tricky things, well using them is at least. I tend to carry a lot of things around with me when I'm ambling around. Typically I will have with me.

1)Pocket watch
2)Keys (office + house)
3)Wallet
4)Phone
5)Moleskine notepad + pen
6)Music player
7)Dark glasses

Now there are some rules to how things go in pockets. The keys are scratchy so they can't go in the same pocket as the phone, dark glasses, music player or pocket watch. The wallet should never go in a back pocket because it easiest pocket to steal from, and keys can't go in a back pocket either as you may sit on them which can be remarkably painful.

The notepad needs a slightly larger pocket but it can share it with something else, and the Dark glasses are easy to break so they shouldn't go in a pocket that is sat on either. The phone goes a bit mad if it is sat on too. This means that arranging one's pockets requires a bit of thought. Sometimes it's easier just to take a man-bag to somewhere and be done with it.
