Technology revisited

We may have cracked getting pictures onto our blog but there are many technological issues that remain totally beyond our ken! However,fortunately, they are not beyond our Peter who seems to have some sort of automatic access to the powers of the ether. Poor lad, he comes to have a cuppa with his ageing parents and almost every time gets asked either "Can you just show us how to-----" or, more frequently "Could you just fix-----". Bless him, he always comes up trumps. Today he and Emma popped in and connected the Wii that the children bought us as a joint 60th birthday present to the internet. So, we can now access international and national weather reports and news, download games etc through the Wii and, more amazingly play games or challenge sporting or fitness records by linking our Wii to those belonging to other folks. We've never been interested in having gaming consoles of any sort especially not those involving fighting or wierdnesses but having seen the Wii system in action elsewhere we really fancied having one and we're having such fun!! We introduced Abigail and our grandsons to the joys of Wii Fit tonight and I'm still laughing at the memory of the boys (6 and 3) doing ski jumping and hula hoop with varying success! I hope the vision of their grandmother dressed as a penguin catching fish on an unstable icefloe doesn't have a permanently damaging effect on their psyche!!
