FOOTNOTES: Both Chaplin and I were sitting waiting anxiously one afternoon this week for the arrival of our new computer. Our lovely engineer duly arrived with an assortment of cardboard boxes and began unpacking and assembling the latest addition to the household. After about an hour or so and having carefully explained how the new computer operated, he left us to it. We spent the remainder of the day playing with the new toy. This one differs from our old one inasmuch as it is not a laptop, but a ‘proper’ computer with a separate keyboard. One thing my advancing years have insisted on is a considerable larger screen size and this is a great help. With a detached keyboard, Chaplin is now able to stretch out full length on the desk, so he is delighted as well. After getting used to various different operations and layouts, all appears to be running smoothly. Would that my ailing body was the same. My eye remains giving me trouble and although slowly returning to normal is still a nuisance and preventing me from travelling very far. But the garden is magnificent, with rose bushes in full bloom, the lawn looking trim and the flowerbeds sprouting with all those plants we spent the Winter and Spring planting. I say we, but it is all down to my faithful gardener and the efforts of the man who, for the past twenty years has mowed my lawns for me. As I gaze around, sitting in the blazing sunshine, tea and biscuits to hand with Chaplin curled up under my chair. I realise, that despite all the aches and pains and the irritation of blurred sight in one eye, it is still a wonderful world. I hope it is for you as well. Go safely, where ever your journeys take you.
