SOMETHING weird has been happening with my phone. All connectivity has slowed right down and not resolved despite rebooting, resetting network setting etc etc. It’s driving me nuts.
I have an online meeting with PRS (Performing Rights’ Society) folks about the prototype performance reporting system I’ve been helping test.
There’s not much time after the session before another meeting – this time with Help Musicians’ about branding and social media stuff.
A late afternoon guitar student arrives at the studio with his dad and we have a good session. For some reason, though, my phone is no longer accepting tap to pay card payments in any of the apps I use. Same thing happened the other day but the card was accepted no problem on Margaret's phone (same apps/user accounts). Grrrrr….
All the phone hassle prompts me to go on line and order a new iPhone. No thinking about it, no fancying about. Just did it. Margaret and I were both on 12s and I sorted Margaret with a new 17 a month or so ago. She’s been really happy with it but I thought I could sit it out until maybe the 18 comes in the autumn but I just don’t have it in me to deal with phone hassles on top of all the websites/hosting issues at the mo’.
I jump in the car and drive to Braehead to pick up the new phone.
