Stoopid 'phone...

rosa_heartlilyThis morning, my 'phone started being a real pain and wouldn't turn on properly, then fizzled out completely. I'd only charged it up last night, so I didn't think it was out of battery. Anyway, I popped in to the O2 shop and - yes, it was out of battery. Still no idea how it went from nearly full to 0. I've charged it up again this evening. I unplugged it at 90%+ and now it's down to 84% - and I haven't used it for anything. That's annoying.
Being without a working 'phone meant I missed a call from the daughter to say grandson #2 had been to the doctor's today. The nursery rang to say he was running a temperature and was getting close to the point where they would have taken him to A&E. Daughter went to collect him, although she's not well herself - a combination of 'flu/whooping cough jab and baby germs by the sound of it - and sil joined them at the nursery. They went straight to the doctor who saw them as soon as they got there. Baby's temperature was coming down - no rashes, tonsils fine but a bit of a red ear drum, so prescribed antibiotics just in case. He's been OK in himself, just a bit quieter than usual, and was eating, so hopefully just 'one of those baby things' <3
It may mean we don't see them on Sunday but it's more important that they all get properly better.
'Phone's dropped another 1% of its charge. I mean, it's 4+ years old - it really doesn't owe me anything. I don't want to get another one, though, so I suppose I'll just have to take my charger everywhere with me. *sigh*
Played a bit more FFXVI, and relearning the controls. I've got all the gear and abilities now, thanks to NG+ - and I've taken off the ring that does the auto-attack. I remember it being annoying, sometimes, when I wanted to do a particular action and the AI did something else. I've left the one on for Torgal, though. I looked up the conditions for the first DLC and you have to do some of the sidequests - I'm just going to do them all again, I think.
The DLC for HFW is on sale but, as with FFXVI, I'd have to replay the game to remember how to do the combat! I enjoyed the DLC for HZD but I got them together. I don't think I'll be ready for another epic after FFXVI...
Work have bought all staff a subscription to a service called Leafyard - 'a web application that combines science and study to motivate people to take control of their own mental health' - which is based in Liverpool, so the uni is supporting local business as well as its staff's mental health. I decided to give it a go and there's really nothing I haven't come across before, at least so far. I am finding the chap doing the videos rather annoying, though. We'll see how I get on - or don't.
