Rolling Over

Liz has started rolling over, which is really a bit earlier than usual, but it’s not a accident when she does 7-8 times over a week. She is really strong in the neck, and able to hold her head up really well (and arch her back when she’s got a sore tummy)

Observation & Logic

Driving home from the hospital tonight, Bec spotted the trye on the roof of the Beaurepaires shop in Ringwood, and I explained they sold tyres.

Then she saw the camera on the roof of Kirk’s Cameras. I said that’s because they sell cameras.

Up the road, she saw the clock tower. “”That shop has a clock on the roof, they must sell clocks””

I can’t fault the logic.

Phone working again

My phone just started working again! I’m not sure if plugging it in and out of the handsfree kit a few times jiggled something or what, but I’m happy now coz it’s working… Of course, it might have been a great excuse to trade up to a new Treo 650.

I should add that Palm support did reply, but only to tell me to do what I’d already done and then possibly send it in to be looked at..

I took the opportunity to pull it apart myself, but that didn’t help, though it did clean a fair bit of dust out!

Longest Phone Call

I think I made my longest ever phone call yesterday, 245 minutes, or 4 Hours and 5 minutes!!!!

I was trying to get the setup of the Careforce Web Shop right and doing a heap of testing to get rid of a curruption we had in the database.

I was a bit stiff and sore by the end of it, but we fixed the problem..
