Today we lost the internet


Today we lost the internet. Felt very lost. Difficult to find out anything, or where anything is. Sally and I needed to find a charger for her chair. A quick search on the internet became a trawl through the yellow pages; every number outside the local area had to be dialed through a phone card, which means entering a 21 figure number plus the number you want. To find out where somewhere is needs a phone book, a gazetteer to find the rough area, a street directory and a map. What happened to entering the address into Google Map? It took 3 hours to locate a 110 volt charger and a replacement nebuliser. But having located them we had a lovely drive south through Haines City to Lake. Wales. Then across to Winter Garden. We also want to buy mobile phones, so we swung past Lakeland, where there is a Verizon Shop. It’s called the Lakeland District because there are a lot of lakes! There was some very lovely scenery; we saw lots of different birds, egrets, small herons, large herons (grey?) and storks
