Legendary cricket umpire Dickie Bird has died at the age of 92. Born Harold Dennis Bird in Barnsley, Dickie played cricket for Yorkshire and Leicestershire but became a household name as an umpire. "It is with profound sadness that The Yorkshire County Cricket Club announces the passing of Harold Dennis 'Dickie' Bird MBE OBE, one of cricket’s most beloved figures, who died peacefully at home at the age of 92," read a statement from Yorkshire CCC. In his remarkable career, he umpired 66 Tests and 69 One Day Internationals, including three World Cup Finals.

I was watching Sunrise this morning and their tech expert was telling about some unknown features of an iPhone, the later models I guess, that people may not know about. Things like using the phone as a document scanner. One feature allows you to take a photo of a plant, or a bird, and press an Info button which will display what flower or bird it is. How did I live without that feature? I'm not into using SMS shorthand, and don't often send long texts, but when I do, it helps to be able to dictate the message instead of pressing those tiny keys with my fat fingers. It's handy to have a convenient camera in your pocket which a photo op happens, like the one below. I wouldn't go around every day with my SLR digital hanging around my neck. I only use it if I go out specifically, such as to the airport.

They've been talking up the pension increases from this week. Today is pension day, checked my bank account and pension was the same as the last few months. Must start ACCUMULATING from today, paid in 2 weeks.

iPhones are up to model 17. Mine is a model 6. Doesn't have all the goodies, but it does what I want. I use plug-in wired earphones and can hear better than the hearing aids I have. I don't have the $$$ to buy more recent models. My old model 6 is a hand-me-down from one of my sons. I use it for SMS texts and taking photos. I occasionally use the calculator, but no apps.

Just been to the Optus shop to try and sort out the mess with my daughter's email password. While waiting for service I had a quick look at the iPhone Air phone on display. All this hoohar about how thin it is, with a thumping great camera sticking out the back. What's the point?

Saw a meme, didn't copy it, saying "David felled Goliath with a stone. It's not the weapon, it's the intent of the person with the weapon."

Cross the T's, dot the I's.

Then why are farmers and other em[lpyers now complaining that all their workers are disappearing?
