Rain And Upgrades



Not the best of Good Fridays, with drizzle, a cool breeze and thick mist. I opted to give everyone a run in the fields, and they had a great time. 
My new phone has been ordered; it's been 4 years since I upgraded, and to be honest, give or take a slow shutter speed, there's not a lot wrong with it. Anyway, I've stayed with the "A" Samsung phones and simply updated to A56 - Steve is going to have the A53 as his A3 or whatever it is is now well past it's sell by date! LOL To be fair that still does the basics, but I'm sure he'll find the A53 an improvement on his current phone. My new phone is being partly paid for by my family for my upcoming birthday.  
Giggles today on a Facebook post. Sheila's e.mail has been hacked, and lots of us have received the oddest of e.mails, common sense dictates they are not from her but people had also posted warnings on Facebook. What made me giggle was one of the new know-it-alls in the breed who said "who is this Sheila Rankin anyway?" Wow Really? You give the impression that you know everything about the breed and you don't know the name of a lady who has witten books about the breed, basically given her life to the breed and the breed council? Sheila maybe in her 90 ies now but she still attends Crufts and The Sieger. I should be shocked, but I'm not, so many buy or bluff their way to the top and just don't do the research and the work! 
If you are interested, then search for "Sheracyn German Shepherds," you will find Sheila's specific footprint in the UK breed history.
