Excellent phone

I'm generally not up to date with the latest phone as I find that they are not much different to the previous 5 or 6 released and are usually very expensive with your provider. As my phone was up for renewal Sky offered me the new Samsung Galaxy S20+, I accepted it because it was a good deal, but wasn't that bothered about the phone

When the phone arrived it exceeded my expectations for a new phone, very simple set up, moved all my photos, contacts and apps across automatically and is very easy and smooth to use. It has amazing video playback and the picture is crystal clear, the camera is amazing and can't wait to try it out when I can finally get away on holiday

Its only downfall I have found so far is the thumb print access is very hit and miss and can take a few attempts to unlock the phone

Kudos

Really good fantasy story

So, I happened upon this book while on holiday in New York when I was in Midtown Comics, it sounded interesting and so thought why not.....

3 boys hide hide themselves overnight in this abandoned shop after they committed a robbery. While there, a letter drops through the letterbox asking for advice. After a little investigation the trio learn that the old owner of the store used to give advice. The 3 decide to write back and they receive another response. After a time, they learn that they are receiving letters from the past and that time moves differently inside the shop than out..... that's all I will say so as not to spoil the rest of the book. If you are a sci-fi or fantasy lover..... give this a go.

The characters are really endearing and while the story does jump from present to past to future, it is easy to keep up with to know what timeline you are currently in.
