Found myself missing the touch tones, that satisfying ding when you gave it a slam. Man that ding was so satisfying, and I never knew I'd miss it.
Now you got to gently put your phone down lest it crack the screen.
I think that is rather representative of our world at the moment. In society, that there's just so many prompts in our daily lives that we didn't have before just a few decades ago, ones, that we've learned to give us pause like can't slam the phone now for instance or the expensive thing breaks. And the phone could represent how society is, not just more fragile but more sophisticated like that new smart phone.
Now and again I feel everything is too politically correct or for instance kids this generation are more sensitive than mine, like how everybody's offended about something. But I wonder if its less that they lost something I had that made me "Stronger" and more like, they have, or are more than I ever was, they may not be as solid as the old phones we used to slam but they are far more advanced and have so many more uses and capability, we just have to be careful with them like the new glass phones.
Anyhow, just found myself thinking and wanted to share.
Hi Neighbours,
Did you get the emergency alert last evening? i got it at 8.29 p.m. and my husband Neill got it 5 minutes later.
I really appreciate the alerts. Keep safe everyone.

I've recently returned home to Palmerston from Berlin (covid reasons) where I was playing as a professional musician and am available for some students.
I have a Bachelor of Music from the Jazz school in Wellington, further study in electronic music, record engineering and composing at Vicotria and I have been producing, composing, and gigging for about ten years in Wellington, Melbourne and Berlin.
I teach Jazz, Folk, Neo-soul, Blues and Rock guitar predominately, and am proficient at Ableton and Logic primarily but can operate and teach any DAW.
