Hi Carol, oh yes we very lucky for sure and it's so cool we realise how lucky we are. Yes technology has really opened up our world we wouldn't be without it now it's such a lifeline for sure. Yes we so lucky we can communicate with others. OH yes I love auntie Pearl's home cooking it's so yummy and you can't beat home made always the best. Yes auntie Pearl has a lovely garden so let's hope it's sunny so we can sit out enjoying it. Yes my mobile will be a lifeline so can keep in touch with the others in great Yarmouth. How cool you went there with your blind club all those years ago I bet it's changed a lot since then hahahaha. I know I'm very cheeky I'm making you sound really old now hahahahha. Yes can't believe we have known each other 15 years in November how scary yes showing our ages now for sure haha. Yes I remember we used to love doing braille letters to each other but I know we were both so happy when emails came along as it's so much easier and quicker for us and saves all that posting. It made us so much more independent. I don't think I would like to go back to doing braille letters again how about you? Only if there was no other option of course. Yes I remember how scared you were to go on email but I'm so happy I got you into it. Oh how cool I have got you into lots of things over the years. That's what friends are for after all to share ideas and help each other. Glad you enjoyed your mince dinner. I enjoyed my cheese toasters and that yummy aero mousse and now a chocolate orange bar. I had my usual choc cake with a cuppa this afternoon. Keep you posted how it goes tomorrow. I look forward to hearing about your day.
