I have a new mobile phone, my first one! I have enjoyed texting Jahna and Christina (grandson & daughter) but I do need to learn to retrieve phone messages though, Ted rang twice while I was at a course, last week, he was flying home from Stewart Island... I thought he was arriving on Thursday, when he rang from Stewart Island earlier I discovered it was actually Wednesday... he said he would ring again... but I didn't hear from him, I had told him I was at a course, (but he swears he didn't hear that!) and I just expected him to get a ride back with our neighbours...The phone went twice at the course, by the time I got outside to answer it, he was gone! I didn't know how to retrieve the messages, and didn't realize I could ring back, it said restricted number... anyway, he arrived at Tauranga Airport 1 pm and turned down 2 rides home, because he didn't want me to go all that way and find him not there! I got home at 4.30 pm to find him absent, turned around and picked him up at 5 pm! Poor darling! I did feel stink!
I will post some of his Stewart Island photos shortly. He had a wonderful time!
We had a great Regional SLS day in Hamilton yesterday a long way to go, but very rewarding. Had a computer session first off, we had Linda McCullough from the National Library, with really useful websites to visit http://www.natlib.govt.nz a great starting point. Also http://www.biguniverse.com/ to read picture books around the world, or to create your own picture books. Te Ara: the Encyclopedia of New Zealand http://www.teara.govt.nz Matapihi, multimedia resources from NZ libraries, galleries, archives and museums http://www.matapihi.org.nz the list goes on! Linda also read Click, Clack Moo, Cows that Type, by Doreen Cronin and showed us Harry Highpants by Tony Wilson. Super picture books!
Bet he doesn't let you forget that one!
