It's popular in some circles to say that kids are better at using technology than adults. So why is it that my kids are shouting me every 2-3 minutes to ask how to do something on the computer? And while I'm gently ranting away here, shouldn't the teachers setting school work set it at an appropriate level for the student?

Rant over.

PS. If my son asks me how to save his work again, I may scream...

I've just listened to a podcast but when I took the headphones off I discovered I'd had them on the wrong way round. It was as if I'd been listening through a mirror but I was completely unaware.
What a crazy mixed up world I live in

Looks like he's a bit burnt and should have applied more sun cream !

Nearly everything I know or use on Mac comes from my grandchildren who at that time were pre teens. I did go to computer classes but it was all Microsoft and very basic.

I had prune juice. What does that make me, then? 😲

A warrior, according to Lt. Worf

ST: TNG season 3 episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" if anyone wants to look up the reference.

Didn't get the time to do any firewood this afternoon. Was busy doing stuff in the kitchen, had some chores, plus more chores where I had to undo mum's "help"

Did have a bit of time to work on my hot rod painting - it's almost finished. Just need to do the background & foreground washes and touch up a bit of shading inside the car.

Not sure who that was aimed at @woodbutcher , but the realisation that I'd been listening through the looking glass was a pretty wild trip.

OK, we're playing on VR this evening. Son bought a used HTC Vibe VR full setup recently, and we're 'apparently' playing games tonight. This involves him taking over the lounge with sensors and his gaming PC and wires, and more wires.....

The 'Borg' - 'resistance is futile' !

I hosted an on-line quiz late this afternoon. It was fun, I’d never done that before.

the Fragrant MrsP has gone to attempt shopping, I’ve not gone ‘cos I’ve got a bit of a cough.
