"I am on the 234 - can I get you a cup of coffee on my way in?"

I've mislaid my simple old mobile phone, and had Lisa's (tooooo many buttons) jobbie with me yesterday at the West Wilts show - alone on early stand duty as it's pretty pointless having any more there to open up a very simple booth and meet the few early birds.

Now those of you who know me well will know that I'm very selective in which technologies I adapt and adopt, and that I'm not someone who's easy to reach on a mobile phone ("has to be turned off - I'm training") let alone by text. In fact - I'll admit that I had never sent a text in my life. Until yesterday.

Great to hear from Sion that he was on his way. Very thoughtful in texting rather than phoning, knowing I might well be talking with someone about hotels, courses, trains .... but I couldn't resist the thought of that coffee. "Love one, Tnx" I replied. And - help - I'm into the wrld v txt nw 2!
