Or to be precise - Emergency Diamond Wedding Anniversary Card
 
Well I suppose it makes a change from EB
 
 
This afternoon we found out that one of our neighbours (ok the pair of them) were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary today - and they had thought that they had kept it a secret.
 
Late afternoon we spotted our veg delivery man, complete with wife and puppy (David Marion and Megon), turned up and took a big box of what looked like flowers to our over-the-road  neighbours.  Knowing they were out I popped over to tell them.  The fact that they had their new puppy with them had nothing to do with it.  Apparently last year Fred and Marie had let slip it was their 59th, so David popped the date in his diary.
 
Anyway, with this knowledge a quick card was the order of the day, expertly produced by Mrs W, and here waiting for the edges to be trimmed by yours truly.  I tried to sneak it over, but I was caught at the door.
 
 
On another subject, we contacted Easylink this afternoon about Mrs W’s ‘falling down watch’.  Much as I had suspected the heavy battery drain is being caused by the GPS tracker.  If you get a week signal the unit keeps trying until it gets a fix.  Great in an emergency, but in the house, especially on a cloudy day like today, it is searching all the time.  This of course would apply to any GPS device.  The answer - turn off tracking until you need it, and this is done from the ‘app’ on the smartphone of the ‘carer’ (for want of a better word), so if Mrs W goes missing all I have to do is turn on her tracking!
 
The palaver with the battery, that and not getting the hang of cancelling false alarms, has dented Pauline’s confidence in the alarm a bit, but we will persevere.  I just need to push her over a few times to make sure the fall sensor's sensitivity is set correctly . . .
