From Venice with... sweat!!!
And here we go, back in Venice and it's warm, really warm!
Defending myself with a big huge ventilator at the back, plus another one in the front, and still dripping sweat while sitting down and not moving at all.... My goodness, and thinking I used to live around here... !!! wow...
Spending a little time teaching my mum how to use the internet - yes, some still need to learn, and it's never too late!!! and it's really a humbling experience to do this and then writing on your blog using another nationality's keyboard... it took the full 60seconds of 1 minute before I could find the apostrophe in the Italian keyboard... now, that was just as frustratingly infuriating as it must be for my mum to learn how to view things in a web page...
Of course, people that haven't a clue about the internet get swayed and misled by the myriads of things any web page presents to them... we forget sometimes, but this is such a new way of communicate for people of different generations that it is still incredible to see how difficult it is for them... exactly as it was for us all that time ago.. But we do forget that, don't we? Like we forget how difficult it was to learn to read and write, and so on.
Anyway, back now to my hot Venice and my delightful little niece :-)
(And yes, I will post her picture sooner rather than later!!!)
