Goodness. Facebook tells me I joined nine years ago today. Feels longer, somehow.

1 Jun 2016 08:57:52

@jakepjohnson Doesn’t feel quite like that to me, but nine years only accounts for about a third of my time on the internet.

@tyronem it's nothing special, to be honest. Quite noisy in low light, and touch screen not great. I preferred the FP8, but I washed mine!
