In the words of Jethro Tull in “Watching Me Watching You”

I sit by the cutting on the Beaconsfield line.
He’s watching me watching the trains go by.
And they move so fast — boy, they really fly.
He’s still watching me watching you watching the
trains go by.

And the way he stares — feel like locking my door
and pulling my phone from the wall.
His eyes, like lights from a laser, burn
making my hair stand — making the goose-bumps crawl.

He’s watching me watching you watching him
watching me
I’m watching you watching him watching me
watching Stares.

At the cocktail party with a Bucks Fizz in my hand
I feel him watching me watching the girls go by.
And they move so smooth without even trying.
He’s still watching me watching you watching the
trains go by.

And the crowd thins and he moves up close but he doesn’t speak.
I have to look the other way.
But curiosity gets the better part of me and I peek:
Got two drinks in his hand — see his lips move —
what the hell’s he trying to say.

He’s watching me watching you watching him
watching me.
I’m watching you watching him watching me
watching Stares.
He’s watching me watching you watching him
watching me.
He’s watching me watching you watching
the trains go by.
He’s watching me watching you watching him
watching me.
He’s watching me watching you watching him watching me.
He’s watching me watching you watching him watching me watching him watching.

I can see a look more “watching” this year – with the acquisition of a Apple Watch  2 – the Nike edition – to look at the potential for wearable apps  along with IOS development which is my goal for this year. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of set up with an Iphone 6 Plus – certainly it seemed greatly improved from others previous experiences. Although its early days I have found the battery life better than expected.
Initial surprises / uses – the timer app really suits me in working on a range of jobs and jumping from one focus to another – so I have found myself using it frequently. The scribble capability came in handy on occasion where a short answer was all that was needed to a text – the writing recognition was spot on.
In the first instance I will be studying the changes in the latest release of Watch OS – since it appears a number of these affect the development of best practice apps. Probably the hardest thing will be deciding what to do with the Fitbit Surge that has served me so well for the last 18 months or so 🙁
