It seems I am getting busier as the days fly by, and this afternoon I am taking time out for a catch up coffee with my darling neighbour Michelle and then Mattymoo and his angel girl Kelly are coming over for a catch up as she has soldered my St Christopher Medallion for me... Thank you honey!!!
This morning I am going to have to read the manual for the camera Alan bought me... you should see the thing... small as a kitchen tile, writing as small as an ant's footprint and as thick as the yellow pages!!!!
Is it just me or does technology get more complicated as we get older? Tim is able to master ANY gadget or gizmo with his eyes shut but I need to read the manuals from cover to cover three times before I even get an inkling... I swear it is written in code... and they are receiving instructions from a higher power, which probably accounts for the attitude!!
Reminds me of the time we were looking to buy a computer and were confronted with such words as hard drives, rams and clock speed!!! (To name but three).
"Are You Serious?..." I said to the young buck staring piteously back at me. The look on his face said it all, but regardless of this I pushed on...
"... back in my day a HARD DRIVE was something you did through the back roads to 'Victa', a RAM is a male sheep, a BUS is something you caught to get to the shops, 'DIM and SIMS' are a yummy Chinese miniature version of the chiko roll (except with plain rice pastry) and a SHIM is something you hit when you smack into furniture while trying to find your way through the dark on your way to the dunny at 2:00 in the morning!!!... and MOTHER BOARD... Mother's don't get bored honey, especially if they have several little whippets like you!!!"
Needless to say the look on his face changed and it was quite an education for the both of us!!!
But I digress... I am having a ball getting ready for the trip and super excited about meeting all those angels I have made friends with over there in the States. Possum invasion on its way!!!
