I apologise for the now corrected typo from yesterdays post. I wanted to write about a couple of things that occurred on my walk home from the ferry yesterday.
I was due to do my talk to the camera thing, day 12 I think it must be (day 14, review of the week is due tomorrow) anyhow, given my reluctance to talk to the camera in public, I did exactly that – I got the phone out, held like I was having a conversation, and just talked to the phone, it was as easy as that – I could have been talking to anybody. I have to say, that I was really quite pleased with myself.
I was coming to the end of my talk and was due to walk past the time memorial at the Morrisons end of the High Street, there was a group of maybe 10 people gathered around very focussed on their mobile phones, but at least one person also had a tablet. I asked a general question; “Is this Pokemon“? They said Yes. I wasn’t really surprised, yet I was. I really thought it had gone out of fashion. But, what we have here is a very dedicated group of people. To the extent that one bloke (I reckon in his mid 40’s – so not a kid) had three phones on a board and was playing all three together – very dedicated.
Anyhow, they are a group who meet regularly, starting at Coffee #1, usually for notified events, they have a WhatsApp group, but I couldn’t join as their admin wasn’t around. I shall make a point of looking for them. I told Elayne about it, she rolled her eyes (understandably) but said go ahead. I used to play a fair bit, only catching the beasties though, I stayed away from the gyms – that’ll have to change I guess.
It had been a good day.
