No, Really?

I'm not a geeky sort of person. Technology is something I don't naturally understand. Written instructions for anything from setting the PVR to record a series of upcoming TV programmes to changing the clock on the microwave might as well be written in Chinese. I never read them. I'd rather break the gadget than sit down and calmly work out how to make it function. If pressing every button and hoping for the best doesn't work, somebody has to demonstrate its use to me. But even I, technophobe that I am, could have made a simple mobile phone with integral camera connect to a computer, especially as both are the product of Microsoft. Have they never heard of a USB port, a connecting cable? Cannot Bluetooth, with which both devices are fitted, magically transfer the photos to the PC? No.

And so my lovely, moving pictures of the poppies at the Tower of London will never appear on this blog. Nor will my close-up of Boris Johnson's thinning blond thatch, viewed from the parapet above as he strolled his thoughtful way below me, be shown. I went, I saw, I cannot share. Alas and alack. I should have stuck to the 99p upgrade to my old phone instead of forking out the giant sum of £14.95. Nokia 220 - you are rubbish!!
