Great minds!


I've just been chuckling to myself reading Susan's blog "Corfu Hillbillies".

I, too, have just returned from a trip to the UK, visiting my parents in Devon. They live in Paignton, where the average age must be about 80 and you are more in danger of being run down by a mobility scooter on the pavement, than crossing the road. Nevertheless, I still felt out of touch and had to carefully scrutinise my money before handing it over, and constantly put my debit card into the machine upside down. Public transport for me is a nightmare, train travel in particular as I can never figure out which carriage I'm in and where I'm supposed to sit.

So, returning to Corfu yesterday was a great relief to me, even more so now that my internet has finally been connected after just over three months! I have moved to a very out-of-the-way spot, and the lines which were previously connected to my house have been trailing up the side of the track for about a year since a concrete lorry passed and dragged them down, tilting the poles to a very jaunty angle at the same time. On my return home I was very excited to see new poles and proper lines, not the temporary arrangement for a phone which I've had for the last few weeks.
