A slight change in communication

I’ve been exercising by going swimming. Well, I actually walk up and down the pool to get more strength in my legs by pushing against the water after all, the more calories expended the better.

However, what I *didn’t* intend was to forget to take my phone out of my pocket before I got in. It was an hour before I realised it was there by which time it was way too late to give it CPR. I have it open in a bag of rice but I already accept it’s gone. It was a Samsung S21 so not cheap. I’m investigating the purchase of an S23 but the price is prohibitive, to say the least. Still, I need a phone something has to give and that something is probably my wallet!

I’ll try charging it tomorrow and see if it will turn on but I honestly have *very* little hope. Saying it’s “water resistant” is one thing but to be submerged in a metre of chlorinated water for an hour is too much for most phones to cope with. So maybe not such a ‘slight’ change in communication after all? C’est la mort. 😦
