4th November 2018

Enjoyed a lovely day yesterday with son Jon, discussing everything from Brexit to his forthcoming move to the US and things digital. I’d recently bought an expensive GPS system for the car. Wrong! All you need now, apparently, is to download onto your smart phone an app called Waze, which even allows you to speak your destination. Cost of the app? Free. On his phone he enjoys a game called Aircoin, where you walk around and zap ‘coins’ - a fun free way to increase physical exercise. With the festive season on the horizon and the world literally awash with plastic, we should think sensibly. While we wait for governments to ban all plastic manufacture, we need to ignore all those glitzy advertised gifts which will be ditched a few days later. We don’t need monogrammed cheese boards and the like to show people we love them. The important things in life are talking to family and friends. Whether you live in France/US/UK, use the wonders of tech if you’ve lost your way or to improve physical health but never forget to connect with those you love.
