On Monday when I was downtown shopping for a cable for my brand new phone I discovered a yarn store. Or rather a store that sells yarn among other things.

When you enter the room you're greeted with mounds of yarn.

Yay! you think. Treasure! and then you pet the yarn.

Hmmm. Fishy... This dos not feel like wool. Doesn't look much like wool either.

You turn to the label. "Wool" it pronounces with bold letters.

This can't be right, you'd know the feel of wool...

You search for the fiber content on the label. To your horror you realise that 25% wool fibre equals wool yarn.

You scream and run out of the door.

Nah. Just kidding. You buy 800 grams to make a bathroom rug or three.

After pining for a new mobile phone for about three monts, I finally gave in on Friday and bought one.

The reason I wanted a new phone was that we're not allowed to bring cameras to work. They, however, allow cameraphones. There have been so many sights I've wanted to show you, but haven't had a camera with me. Now I do! Yay!

I have taken pix with it already, but since there is no infrared port in my laptop (I thought there was) or Bluetooth (I knew there wasn't), I have to go buy a USB cable to transfer data. Bummer, eh?

Originally I wanted to have Nokia N70, but the salesman convinced me to get Nokia 6233 instead. When I compared the specks, I discovered that he was right and 6233 suits my requirements better than N70.

My 6233 has a black case and the numbers glow blue when you use the phone. It might look a little boring, but it's small, sleek, and does all that I want it to do. What else do you need in a phone?
