Sprouting !! by beryl

Sprouting !!

The clematis is trying it's best to start a new life.

I have had a terrible week on the phone with a mobile company trying to purchase a new mobile phone before I go into hospital --
Simplicity itself I thought --on the net and order -- oh! How wrong could I be !!
Order didn't come so telephoned for 4days getting more and more frustrated especially everyone seemed to take me on an obstacle course !! Eventually the phone came in a foreign language --as I couldn.t read the instructions given -- I couldn't even find out to change it to English !! I have indigestion ,the air has been near blue !! I hate to be defeated - So now I will have to wait until G is home from work to take me to their shop --- the whole object of internet shopping was to avoid having to go to the shopping centre !! --Corr !! -gad I got that off my chest ( as my blood pressure was not too healthy )-- I wonder sometimes if this new ever changing technology is getting the better of me !!!!
A super composition and I love the colours and presentation. Fav.

I can empathise, so frustrating when technology does not run smoothly. Think of the clematis in bloom and take deep breaths

Take a deep breath,Beryl,and have a cup of tea(or something stronger)!! Technology can be a pain!!

Aargh. Well hopefully a trip out into your lovely garden will help. Hard to get what you want these days without any hassle!

Well Done Beryl on getting such a great picture. Do hope the phone gets sorted, technology is wonderful when it works properly the rest of the time it is just a pain. Spring will soon be here! :))

Lovely image with great lines and tones. I know what you mean about phones I had a new before xmas and haven't been able to get onto my home wifi with it although it would connect with next doors! I can text from my phone but replies go to my iPad grrrrr! I hope you sort yours soon.

internet shopping can be difficult at times! I think there is some things that you know are probably better to buy in shops but i always thought that phones wouldn't be one of those things! Sad to hear you've had problems :/

@tobybird Thanks Toby, I do not like to be beaten !!!!!

If everything goes the way it is supposed to, internet shopping is the best, but wow, it can be so frustrating when things like this happen

Why can't life be simple - like the clematis - just sprout when ready!
I do understand your frustration and sometimes feel that systems nowadays are designed
1. to stop us speaking to a human voice
2. to cause us as much hassle as possible

Hope it's been helpful to let it out on here. Try to keep calm!

Gorgeous new growth there, Beryl, beautiful capture! You have my sympathy with your phone problems. I spent two and a half hours last night talking to a salesperson about the problems with mine, it was like banging my head against a brick wall and considerably more painful! My advice is - give them H*ll !

Oh Beryl join the club of dissatisfied phone company customers....I could write a book!! Poor you that's the last thing you need.....I find mobile phone companies extraordinary patronising! Be careful of contracts by one who knows...still fighting ours, been on the phone again today!

Lovely new shoots btw...lets hope it's the start of happier times with phone companies!!

Sorry to hear about your disappointment with the new phone, its so awkward to have all the trouble in the end, when yu wanted to do it the easy way. I find the worst thing is that all these telephone help services are never any help but a waist of time and money
