The times they are a changing. There was a time when I carried a pocket size day minder with me, the Reader’s Digest one was my favourite – loved the monthly layout and space for notes.

I have not mastered split screen so am not certain if I could actually be in dialogue and check availability. That’s fine, for I know how to text the caller and verify details after the conversation has been completed.
