Back to learning patience (sigh). I have gone to see my Dad and knowing they have a computer I just assumed I could blog here, however the technology they have can best be described as Quaint (not too dissimilar from the picture). I went to use the blogmaster thingy and it chuckled and said that the browser (ha ha) is so old that it barely recognises it (ha ha ha) and certainly cannot communicate with it (hee hee). And it doesn't! the bloomin' thing shows me buttons but they don't work - so I have had to resort to other tactics.
It reminds me of how things have moved on over the years. I remember first using the internet in 1993 - you had to use two programs to get email - one to get it and the other to read it. But it was marvellous just the same. One of the best moments was when I was emailing Australia as I had a problem with their software, and being British I thought I'd better be polite and mention the weather (snow). They came back saying how sunny it was and with joy and amazement it suddenly hit me that I was having a conversation with someone in Australia!.....

(You'd think I'd never heard of telephones...)
Anyhow, I am a bit slow here (too) but managed to Tell the nice lady in the charity shop about Homeopathy for Health in Africa as she sold me some rather sweet china plates for the next Tea Party; for the second Telling I am relying on the extra credit I got with the Jewelry party extravaganza. Will be back on form tomorrow - watch out Hampshire, I am enthusiastic!
