Measured responses

Mrs Blog has been suffering with her knees. More accurately it is just one of her knees that is causing a problem. Last Thursday she was showing me both knees and asking if I thought the left one was swollen compared to the right one.

"I'm not sure, have you tried measuring them?" I replied, rather helpfully.

"It's a bit difficult with the ruler," she said.

The value of punctuation

Earlier this week I was at Kinross Services (living the dream).

I spotted a sign on a faulty machine which read

"Out of order management"

...and thought "I could name a few of them!"

Siriously

Since I acquired an Iphone and found it can connect to my car dashboard my eyes have been opened. I can simply speak my commands to the posh English woman in the ether who then executes them...usually.

Yesterday I was showing Mrs Blog how it all worked. The phone was plugged in to the usb connection and we were ready.

"Siri, destination Crail,"I said.

"I cannot provide directions to Trail, Canada."

I tried again, adding Scotland after Crail.

"Searching for directions to Thailand."

"Siri, are you in a bad mood?"

"I am here to help you."
