Well, poor Edward. His electronic wind instrument arrived while I was out, he fired it up, followed all the instructions and had a great half hour finding out all it could do - then it died. When I got home, he was working through all the troubleshooting in the manual but nothing. So eventually he started an online chat on the site from which he bought it, a German site he has bought from before. They concluded that the instrument must have a defect and offered him a replacement or refund. He chose a refund and with typical German efficiency, a prepaid mailing label was sent, we packed it up and I took it to the post office. He is not too disappointed because he has been reading various forums and it seems that there are problems with the instrument. So he is happy enough and when he gets the refund, he’ll bide his time and see what he wants to do.
I did everything on my list, my technology averse friend was introduced to WhatsApp- she really is incorrigible, she had missed calls and messages on her newly installed WhatsApp. I put her into the schoolgirls group and she did type a few words to everyone. Then I set her up in a group with her grandchildren. Whether she will use it or not, who knows. My dratted pessary fell out again so it’s off to the hospital again tomorrow to try again. Miss Osc had left quite a bit of food, veg, eggs, cheese, so we’ll use them up. Michael sent us a photo of his room in their Portuguese villa, it opens out onto the pool so he was very happy!
