  Train again...
My wee Granny is in the hospital with a chest infection but seems to be on the mend.
We were worried it was something worse but it looks like she is ok however at 86 you have to take everything seriously. Well, we do, she just seems to get on with it.
She's tougher than my brother and I put together.

So I'm on the train again but this time connecting my laptop via my phone. We're travelling over the Forth Bridge and I remember going to Edinburgh for a day trip when I was about 11 or so.

The train had a pay-phone in it and I took great delight in phoning my Gran from the train to tell her that I was actually going across the Forth Bridge while talking on the phone! *gasp*

Changed days indeed :-)

Wonder what will be available in 20 years or so? I'm thinking tech implants and "augmented" reality. Google/facebook on a chip under your skin in a cashless, numbered, tagged society.

Very handy for the powers that be to keep track of all of us sheeple.

Still, there'll always be something to mess it up - just about lost this post because of going through a tunnel!! thank goodness for copy and paste :-))

Hope your wee granny is doing better. Mines is more or less housebound these days, nae fun getting that old.

20 years time I'm thinking civilisation is running on empty if we haven't sorted out renewable energy sources.
