My digital lifeline
I discover on the train to Edinburgh this morning I’ve forgotten my iPhone.
What to do? M dropped me off at the station and unless I contact him to let him know my return journey I face a long walk home in the dark.
There are lots of police, thanks to COP26, in Waverley station.
I ask one for the nearest public phone.
He shakes his head.
“There aren’t any in Edinburgh.”
Suddenly I realize even if there were I had no coins since I no longer carry cash for we have moved seamlessly into the contactless society.
He suggests I ask someone if I can borrow their phone.
Well, I didn’t fancy that.
Later in the day I spot an Information booth.
The kind woman there offers me her phone. Except M does not answer the landline cause he is out in the garden and I can’t remember his mobile number.
Suddenly I remember my birthday present- a few taps on my smart watch and up pops my contact list with his mobile number.
Phew!
So that’s why its another photo of Teddy and not one of Edinburgh.
