T aged four can do computers now. She sits at the computer in the kitchen and writes everybody`s names and does drawings too. It amazes me. Also I am very pleased that one of the Quakes, aged eighty four, has finally learned how to email her grandchildren, and another Q has acquired a PC for her from Freecycle. She had always poured scorn on modern technology. I try to teach my contemporaries to text. I find it very useful, communication without too much bother to anybody,. Trouble is, so many older people will never keep their mobiles turned on, they think they leak out dangerous rays into their handbags or something. I am in Brighton today, and as soon as I have taken T to school plus two small boys from along the road ,I am going in to town, on the bus with my free bus pass, and I will start some Christmas shopping. I feel quite excited about it.
