Travelin' light...

If you'll excuse me, while I get the Rubettes singing "Sugar Baby Love" out of my head.....

Mmmm. Much better. I can hear myself think now :)

Totally fascinated by my new phone.

Took a wobble to the shop last night with The Bear. Ignoring her cry of "Put the bloody flags out!", I took the opportunity to try out an app that tracks altitude, time, speed, distance, draws a path that's shown on Google maps on the phone, and then syncs it with My Maps online so it can be followed on street view on the pc and phone.

Interesting, and very, very, creepy. It seems we travelled for 36.44 mins at an average speed of 0.89 mph over a 1.15 miles, there and back. Hmm - those maths seem slightly squiffy....

She claims she can do the round trip in 15 mins. 4.6 mph. Good. She can give me a piggy-back next time. Hey ho, Tonto, away!

Needless to say that despite frequent stops, I was totally knackered. As I discovered when I dropped a pencil, and unthinkingly bent to pick it up. I spent ten minutes stood, with the top of my head on the floor. Mainly because my mob couldn't stop laughing. Ho. Ho....

I was about to disagree with Googles 'My Tracks' app that, according to the path-plot, I ended up being in a Wheelie Bin outside the shop. But The Bear said "Sounds about right..."

Oh, I geddit.

Wheelie Bin. Ho. Ho. Ho....

By the way, did you hear about that bloke who reached for his Viagra, picked up a bottle of Tippex by mistake, and got an enormous correction?

I'm gone. I'm outta here.
