This one is a bit late (nothing new there). Also I am sorry that the audio isn’t as good as normal - not sure what happened but there was a lot of crackling and some sort of stuttering/drop out. I have done my best to clean it up as best I can. Anyway, with all that said Nick and I got together to talk about what we thought of the WWDC announcements, Apple Intelligence and more.

MISSION TO SEAFARERS APPEAL

The Mission to Seafarers is looking for donations of old, but working, smartphones and internet capable tablets to give seafarers far from home a way to talk to friends and family
If you have any old smartphones or tablets cluttering your cupboard and drawers why not donate them to this worthy cause? If you are in the UK contact Vicar@felixparish.com or your nearest Mission to Seafarers Centre, or if you live outside the UK simply visit missiontoseafarers.org.
