On the Road Again!

After several years with O2 I have moved to 3 for a year at least.  The signal is about the same as O2 at home, poor, but the monthly charge is 25% less and for that I get "eat as much as you can" data, which is a bonus. We'll see how it goes!

Bereft! I felt like I was cutoff from the world! My 5S has been powering itself off at odd times since the iOS 8 upgrade. It isn't a battery problem, as it had been as high as 47% charged. On Wednesday evening it turned itself off at 27% and when I turned it on the Apple logo stayed on the screen. I went online when I got home and found that this is called "recovery mode". I followed the instructions on Apple's website and it didn't work.  What to do. I had little luck with O2 online and ended up booking an Apple Genius. Just in case I called into the O2 shop in Folkestone and they managed quite easily to reset it back to factory setup. All that means I needed to was attach to my iTunes and restore my data. After the first stage it looked a bit dodgy as it seemed to have lost all my apps and data associated with them. So I left it to sync again.... Fingers crossed.

Tickets arrived this morning. Our summer holiday starts on Saturday with a trip up to the O2 for the concert and then a day off before we set off for Czech.
