Colm O'Regan: I've lost my phone, loading up the new one feels like a fresh start

"Slowly, I’m putting more people in. Retrieving numbers from WhatsApp groups. Being annoyed at people who don’t have their name on their WhatsApp profile or their photo is their baby or a blurry one from 100 yards away as they finished a triathlon."

It was bound to happen. I had gone public extolling the abilities of St Anthony in finding phones. 

So it was inevitable I should then lose my phone. Completely. Somewhere on a Dublin road, it fell out of my pocket while cycling. Hopefully driven over.
