Any number of my friends claim that computers are beyond them. Talk of the internet and their eyes start rolling. And yet, for those of us who are boilers rather than poussins, it is bliss.
The world really is my oyster, as I sit snugly indoors, buy the goods I want without either waiting for an untrained assistant to serve me, queue to pay for my self-selection, incur huge parking costs or battle it out on London Transport.
Last week in France, we had some guests of dinner. One of them wore a stunning oriental creation. Had she bought it in Japan, I asked. No, she said. You can buy these wonderful clothes on a japanese website - Kimono Flea Market Ichiroya. Click on it and literally hundreds of wonderful fabrics and garments are on offer. Such possibilities are real magic carpets.
This morning, I click and buy an outdoor light and then some concert tickets. And,of course, are endless games of spider patience to play!
