My new mobile phone...my first one...

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!
