...who, among much else, is Auntie's Computer Consultant. Lovely new laptop. How to make it work. "You have to carry it gently, Auntie...", One can connect to the Internet anywhere...cafes, trains...does that mean people know where I am? Who? Feels a bit spooky somehow. Can people log in and read my emails? Are you sure they can't?
Auntie doesn't really like computers, although she has been a dedicated user from the moment they took over from typewriters...oh, and I know all about howwonderfulitisandyoucangetyouremailsanywhere and all that. But it locks you in to work, home is no longer sacrosanct, news follows you everywhere, emails whizz in and need to be answered, work-work-work runs and jumps and squeals at you all the time...
Nephew and his dear family, however, are a joy. Beautiful and gifted wife, four enchanting children. New baby gurgling agreeably. Voices now calling at the door :"Is Auntie Joanna finished yet? Can she come and play?"
