One of the things about having a lot of time available is that I find I am exploring things such as ringtones on my smarter-than-me phone. So, I now have a variety of bird calls that indicate to me if a text has come in, if a friend is calling, if someone I don't know is trying to reach me. I have wanted New Zealand bird ringtones and when I was unable to find them, I decided to use some I had found on the open market which are of interest - wrens, crows, owls. I would still prefer a Tui or a bellbird but until I master even more technology, I will make do with what I found for free. The primary reason for changing my ringtones is the amount of time I spend in libraries. Somehow, a hooting howl, while incongruous to the surroundings, is still not as disruptive as any number of 'normal' ringtones that involve loud music or actual ringing bells. And I love watching the confusion on people's faces. I only wish I had more people calling me.....
Today I stayed in bed until nearly noon reading a most absorbing book. A mystery, which is most unlike me. Carol O'Connell is my new favorite author and the Mallory series will be what I look for - I was given Killing Critics which is the third in the series and a quick google tells me there are nine in the series. Just as well I am an honorary member of my mother's mystery book club, which I had heretofor been just the driver for - now I can contribute to the discussion.
