Needless to say the Nokia phone lost spectacularly, it refused to turn on, charge or in fact display anything.... So being a resourceful bugger I grabbed two 20 gram bags of silica desiccant whacked them in the microwave to re-activate them .....then grabbed an old used plastic bread bag and put them to bed with each other... I calculated that 40 grams of silica desiccant was enough concentrated sucking power to remove the water from a glass marble....3 days later I plugged my phone in and it sprang to life !!! result... so all is not lost who think they have killed their mobile phone.... probably works for phones dropped in toilets/puddles/rivers etc ... the important thing is to resist trying to use the phone ... take the battery straight out and put the phone somewhere to dry or better still put it in a home made accelerated Gobi desert like I did :)
Freya hasn't been well for the past few days, she's been very out of sorts, miserable and whining... she's been running a temperature and complaining that her tongue hurts and she does have two small red marks on it ... I think we are over the worst of it now though.... (fingers crossed) ... but on the flip side she is completely out of nappies now, it didn't take her very long and we didn't rush her... she did it when she was good and ready to do it... I've never been a fan of forcing a child to get out of nappies and so far we've only had about two or three accidents with her.... obviously she was ready .... we've even had our first dry night with her.... she is growing up so quickly now, very chatty, quite long and involved conversations with only the occasional "dubba dubba" thrown in to fill in the gaps in her vocabulary .... she doesn't miss a thing, not much gets by her and has started giving as good as she gets with the other kids......
last night I shot a rat clean off the decking.... the joys of living in the country I guess, we don't leave any food out in our rubbish but I guess with leaving our rubbish out for two weeks (bloody council) it does entice ratty rattus... it squeaked and died pretty much immediately... I shall be out on dusk patrol again tonight to "off" it's cousins sisters and brothers in quick succession....Mouse wars was the beginning ... it's serious now ... and personal ..... ;¬)
At least in the country you can hear them rustling through the undergrowth.... you don't see them in the cities they prefer to use sewers .... so I guess we have a cleaner class of rat out here in the country....
