🏪 and its octoberish the 3 rd

🏪  .... and a late session here. coffee  / breakfast / and cleaning neighbour is here

Friday, 2 October 2026

🛺 and it the second day

  🛺    ...october it is. view is limited to 50 yds. dark out htere at 5:40 amish.

2 day old coffee, and typing

re inventing the wheel. again. The topic is ' how to carry your cellphone ' or really - drop mitigation. Assuming the cellphone will get dropped.


Ideas. wear a lanyard w / phone attached. Ah, 2 short and the phone becomes a heavy necklace. 2 long and the phone be - comes a pendulum. 
next is the belt holster. yes, always there but cumbersome depending on length of time carried and also - what else is on the belt.
There is the pocket solution, pant pocket and the phone becomes a cushion ( shatter city there ). Shirt pocket and the phone launches over the concrete as you bend over. [ this last is my specialty ]

latest attempt. A lanyard. a plastic detachable clip. a cloth eyeglass case and drawstring. The options, a ) at length and tucked into a pocket. The cloth case prevents easy sliding.  AND the lanyard is still around your neck. If it is a ' kangaroo ' style pocket, the whole assembly can be pocketed.
On my jac shirt, the lanyard passes thru the pocket 's button hole for extra attaching.
Or detach the clip as needed and the lanyard is a light chain and the cloth bundle is free to move around

Like mentioned. another go at the wheel

We shall see said the Zen Master

Experimental dinner. Boxty or Irish potato pancakes. Mash + grated potato. Add flour, baking powder and buttermilk. Fry them up

Verdict. Good to very good. Criticism mild 

Served w / green peas and mixed meat leftovers.
