Success

  It seems the tactic of staying up late last night in order to preorder my wife's new iPhone succeeded. Her order will be delivered on the release day unlike the two week wait most people are now seeing. It took a little while for the website to settle down but within 15 minutes we were in and got the order through no problems. A little perseverance is all it took it seems and maybe a dash of luck.

  Still it's really satisfying knowing we got through and got what we wanted with relatively no problems. We didn't end up with a yucky white one (seriously, who thinks they look good?) so that is even better.

  Now we just need to make sure the kittens we were told about hiding out with their mother in our back garden are ok. They must be around close nearby after I saw the mother moving them yesterday evening. Where she was taking them I couldn't tell although I suspect it is hidden in some bush somewhere. I'll keep an ear out for the kittens mewling just in case. We are half tempted to adopt them but they need to be taken away and fixed, especially the mother who really didn't want us near her for obvious reasons.

  Anyway, that is another new product we successfully got on release to add the long list of things we got just as they were released. Mainly technology things but we do have a knack of getting them no problems which seems strange when compared to how many people have such difficulty getting their hands on the very same things. Strange luck for us when it comes to that I suppose.
