Mum asked if I could help her set up a map in her kitchen so that she could plot my progress. She needed some help finding the places I plan to visit (even with a magnifying glass) but she is now confident she will be able to keep up.
Better still, she now has an internet connection! For the first time in her life, she has installed broadband, connected up a router, purchased a simple tablet and is now online. So far she has been focussing on developing her Skype skills with me and willing members of the family, but she is already branching out into sending and receiving simple emails and has even searched Google for all things Elvis! The last time I was with her she was watching the BBC iPlayer to catch up on an episode of Dr Who she had missed. Whatever next?
Anyway must go. More posts tomorrow live from Sri Lanka.
Lots of love
Paul

I love that your mum wanted to track your journey on a map too! Although I confess I haven't got around to setting our big 'Peter's Projection' map up like I said I would (as I haven't ventured up into the loft yet to locate it) but seeing your mum's up has re-established my resolve and I will def make it my mission over half term - me and the lads can then really start living vicariously through you on your travels.
ReplyDeleteHello 'Paul's mum'! - I bet you're missing him but ever so proud. You've hardly changed since I last saw you - which was many years ago - wow, clearly young at heart, as well as techno savvy! Paula xx
